WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.480
Alright. We'll jump right into it.

2
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:05.940
Today is 11/15/2017.

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.540
It's been a heck of a year.

4
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:12.340
It's been really great to spend the time with you guys here on the webinar Wednesdays.

5
00:00:15.945 --> 00:00:27.165
So I'll be your host here, Jason, if in case you don't know if this is your first time, and we're also joined by Patrick Bernal and Gabriel who will be there, in behind the scenes to answer your questions in the chat window.

6
00:00:34.850 --> 00:00:42.610
And if this is your first time joining us, I always recommend also joining our LinkedIn marketing strategy network.

7
00:00:42.610 --> 00:00:44.230
It's totally free to join.

8
00:00:44.685 --> 00:00:51.985
If you wanna carry the conversation on from the webinar Wednesdays, you can go to brilliantdirectories.com/linkedin.

9
00:00:52.445 --> 00:00:53.805
You can join the group.

10
00:00:53.805 --> 00:01:01.289
You can ask additional questions, related to marketing your website and other strategies to increase revenue, member sign ups,

11
00:01:01.910 --> 00:01:07.930
and things like that. And again, you can go to brilliantdirectories.com/linkedinLinkedIn.

12
00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:12.810
If we don't get to your questions in the webinar, that is a great place to,

13
00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:14.729
start a discussion, and

14
00:01:15.095 --> 00:01:17.115
myself, Patrick, or other fellow

15
00:01:17.415 --> 00:01:21.675
brilliant directories users, can help contribute and answer your questions.

16
00:01:23.175 --> 00:01:28.395
So the goal of webinar Wednesday is to help you guys as much as possible, plain and simple.

17
00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:32.929
You can ask whatever questions you like. They could be related to marketing,

18
00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:34.369
generating leads,

19
00:01:34.829 --> 00:01:36.289
optimizing your SEO,

20
00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:38.049
publishing content,

21
00:01:38.829 --> 00:01:41.969
making money, asking questions about how things work.

22
00:01:42.415 --> 00:01:46.274
If it's a code related question, I'll do my best to dive into the code with you.

23
00:01:46.735 --> 00:01:53.954
So pretty much anything is fair game here, and if we're unable to answer your questions, hopefully, we could provide you with a resource

24
00:01:54.335 --> 00:01:55.954
to point you in the right direction.

25
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:01.840
Alright. And we have a contest of the week.

26
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:04.619
This is a duplicate contest from last week's webinar.

27
00:02:04.619 --> 00:02:12.045
It worked out so well, but because we have so many new faces in this webinar, I wanted to give the new people a chance to take advantage of the contest of the week.

if you go to that link link, brilliantdirectories.com/vip,

55
00:04:09.615 --> 00:04:12.275

Some of them have videos demonstrating how they work as well.

63
00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:49.630
So that'll be the deal of the week

64
00:04:50.010 --> 00:04:52.030
and a super deal club 50,

65
00:04:52.570 --> 00:04:55.950
brilliant directories dot com forward slash v I p.

66
00:04:58.010 --> 00:05:02.535
Alright. And this is a new format that we started, just a couple webinar sessions ago.

67
00:05:03.315 --> 00:05:04.695
It's the tip of the week.

68
00:05:05.955 --> 00:05:07.495
We'll choose a micro topic,

69
00:05:07.875 --> 00:05:08.375
and

70
00:05:08.675 --> 00:05:11.395
you know, we'll give our 2¢ on on best practices.

71
00:05:11.395 --> 00:05:18.360
And then what we like to do is pass it over to you guys to share your website, and we can and we can see how we can take advantage

72
00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:21.720
of these best practices and apply them to your

73
00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:23.320
website concept.

74
00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:25.400
So for this tip of the week,

75
00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:28.760
it's a pretty important topic is how to design

76
00:05:29.095 --> 00:05:31.995
your pricing page or your membership packages

77
00:05:32.535 --> 00:05:34.075
for maximum conversions.

78
00:05:35.095 --> 00:05:38.395
And for your you might be interested in generating revenue.

79
00:05:38.775 --> 00:05:40.955
You might be interested in registering

80
00:05:41.495 --> 00:05:47.360
as many free members as possible. So So we're gonna cover both of those very briefly, in this week's

81
00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:48.880
tip of the week.

82
00:05:50.539 --> 00:05:55.120
And before I dive into this, let me show you exactly what I'm referring to here.

83
00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:59.715
So if you go to a site, they generally have a registration page. There could be

84
00:06:00.275 --> 00:06:02.855
two packages, or three packages, or

85
00:06:03.395 --> 00:06:04.775
sometimes 20 packages.

86
00:06:06.435 --> 00:06:06.935
But

87
00:06:07.555 --> 00:06:14.055
when you're creating your membership packages, there's a few things that you want to keep in mind, especially if you're just starting your website.

88
00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:18.130
The first one is you wanna keep your member packages simple.

89
00:06:18.990 --> 00:06:28.625
If you're taking days and nights to create your membership packages, you might already be going in the wrong direction, and you might be you might be on a path to confusing

90
00:06:29.164 --> 00:06:31.504
potential members who are gonna sign up.

91
00:06:32.444 --> 00:06:38.865
In my opinion, I like if you're just starting out, I like to not offer more than three packages or options.

92
00:06:39.770 --> 00:06:41.870
The more packages you create,

93
00:06:42.330 --> 00:06:44.670
the more time somebody needs to think,

94
00:06:45.210 --> 00:06:50.510
and and the more time they think, they might start doubting their decision, and they might just forget the whole thing.

95
00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:55.525
So the easier you can make the decision for them to sign up, the higher the probability

96
00:06:56.385 --> 00:06:57.525
that they will convert,

97
00:06:57.985 --> 00:07:02.405
into a sign up. And actually this is a pretty good example here. I just chose it randomly.

98
00:07:02.705 --> 00:07:04.885
So this is our church website theme,

99
00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:07.570
and you know there's there's two packages.

100
00:07:07.570 --> 00:07:12.850
Are you gonna join as a congregation member or a donating member? Which is thing. So pretty simple.

101
00:07:12.850 --> 00:07:16.630
There isn't a long list of benefits, just some key items,

102
00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:20.230
and that's really kind of what the direction you wanna go for.

103
00:07:23.605 --> 00:07:28.025
You also wanna make it easy to distinguish the benefits between each plan.

104
00:07:28.885 --> 00:07:29.385
So

105
00:07:29.765 --> 00:07:31.305
when you're listing the benefits,

106
00:07:33.140 --> 00:07:36.900
try This this one is kind of a good example, but but not really.

107
00:07:36.900 --> 00:07:41.160
You wanna make sure that it's clear why one of the plans is

108
00:07:41.460 --> 00:07:47.625
is better than the other. So putting features side by side, is good. This is an example of

109
00:07:48.745 --> 00:07:50.185
not side by side features.

110
00:07:50.185 --> 00:07:57.705
I would have put access to business directory here as well, and then on the next line I would have put list your business in the directory with another x here.

111
00:07:57.705 --> 00:08:02.125
So this is an example of where it's not lined up side by side, which I would have done so.

112
00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:06.610
Also, again, you wanna keep the benefits short. Although there's

113
00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:15.010
over a hundred settings you can configure for each membership level, you only need to point out of the most important features on your pricing page.

114
00:08:15.615 --> 00:08:17.315
One thing that I see a lot of people

115
00:08:17.935 --> 00:08:21.155
falling into is they're not using motivational text,

116
00:08:21.455 --> 00:08:22.675
and they're not really

117
00:08:23.855 --> 00:08:27.630
using text that's going to make someone want to sign up.

118
00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:31.330
The the text and the choice of words that they're using are very

119
00:08:31.710 --> 00:08:33.250
clinical and very technical.

120
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:34.610
Rather than

121
00:08:36.510 --> 00:08:39.490
rather than focusing on benefits, they're focusing on features.

122
00:08:41.074 --> 00:08:46.435
And also remember less is more. So you don't want three lines of text on each of these.

123
00:08:46.435 --> 00:08:49.334
It's hard for someone to absorb what they're looking at.

124
00:08:50.834 --> 00:08:54.214
And then what I like to do is if you're gonna have paid plans,

125
00:08:54.850 --> 00:08:56.310
you know your your cost

126
00:08:56.770 --> 00:09:01.830
as far as someone listening in the the directory is not much, your the websites already online.

127
00:09:02.050 --> 00:09:05.350
I would make the most expensive plan that you offer simply irresistible.

128
00:09:06.050 --> 00:09:09.270
So if you have a free plan that you can only,

129
00:09:09.905 --> 00:09:11.685
you have very limited privileges,

130
00:09:12.225 --> 00:09:15.365
make the premium plan just unbelievably irresistible.

131
00:09:16.705 --> 00:09:18.805
Again that goes into having simple packages,

132
00:09:19.105 --> 00:09:22.005
being able to distinguish the benefits between each plan.

133
00:09:24.129 --> 00:09:26.709
So a traditional membership packages like these,

134
00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:29.490
they're they're great for for all sites.

135
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:33.910
In my opinion, I think they're better for more established brands or companies.

136
00:09:34.850 --> 00:09:38.790
Reason being is people probably understand your product already,

137
00:09:39.175 --> 00:09:44.235
and they just need to decide how they want to move forward with your service or your offering.

138
00:09:45.495 --> 00:09:47.435
Sites with stronger marketing teams.

139
00:09:48.375 --> 00:09:49.995
The reason I say that is

140
00:09:50.295 --> 00:09:51.195
when you have

141
00:09:51.770 --> 00:09:54.670
paid plans and and three plans and and whatnot,

142
00:09:55.290 --> 00:10:00.490
again you need to make sure people understand the product, and part of that is the marketing.

143
00:10:00.730 --> 00:10:02.750
It's not just having a website online

144
00:10:03.210 --> 00:10:05.870
and and people are going to sign up magically.

145
00:10:06.515 --> 00:10:09.095
So a marketing team that creates a compelling

146
00:10:10.275 --> 00:10:14.935
reason for people to join your site, that's gonna help with increasing the sign ups.

147
00:10:15.555 --> 00:10:18.055
Also, sites with lower price points.

148
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:18.980
Obviously,

149
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.660
if you have low price points, it's not a big investment for someone to pull the trigger on one of the paid plans.

150
00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:25.380
So,

151
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:33.425
you know, a setup like this with two or three options, may maybe they're all paid plans and there's no free option, would work as well.

152
00:10:34.125 --> 00:10:39.165
If you have more expensive plans, let's say these were a thousand, $2,000

153
00:10:39.165 --> 00:10:43.425
plans, that's perfectly fine also because each industry is different.

154
00:10:44.045 --> 00:10:47.905
But if you do have higher plans, you probably want to have a sales

155
00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:51.060
team because someone who's going to invest $500

156
00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:53.080
or a thousand or $2,500

157
00:10:53.540 --> 00:10:56.600
into joining your site probably needs to talk to somebody

158
00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.720
on the phone.

159
00:11:00.020 --> 00:11:02.680
And then Pat, I'm gonna pass it over to you for

160
00:11:03.045 --> 00:11:05.225
newer sites that are just getting started.

161
00:11:05.605 --> 00:11:07.145
We do have an alternate method

162
00:11:07.605 --> 00:11:10.665
for getting members to sign up to your site and eventually

163
00:11:11.365 --> 00:11:11.865
paying.

164
00:11:13.524 --> 00:11:16.645
Let me see if I can get Pat Alright. Fantastic. Yeah. There we go.

165
00:11:16.645 --> 00:11:19.410
So I'm gonna switch switch gears here to this slide.

166
00:11:20.510 --> 00:11:23.490
And what are we what are we looking at here exactly, Pat?

167
00:11:24.510 --> 00:11:28.990
Alright. So this is a different approach to getting people signed up on your website.

168
00:11:28.990 --> 00:11:33.954
This is particularly new if you're new in your industry, if people haven't heard of you before,

169
00:11:34.495 --> 00:11:38.194
or if you don't have that sales team that Jason was referring to.

170
00:11:38.654 --> 00:11:45.280
The idea behind going this route, and we're gonna show you some live examples, is that you're able to maximize sign up.

171
00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:52.740
The goal initially for a new website owner should be, how do I collect as many email addresses as possible?

172
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.260
If you force someone to choose a plan

173
00:11:56.785 --> 00:11:59.345
and you're saying, is it gonna be free? Is it gonna be paid?

174
00:11:59.345 --> 00:12:06.405
Or if even let them know that it's gonna cost money, you're gonna reduce the amount of conversions on your website.

175
00:12:07.105 --> 00:12:10.865
Another another good use of this is if your ticket items are higher.

176
00:12:10.865 --> 00:12:13.810
If your pricing plans are higher and you're definitely gonna need,

177
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:19.730
you're gonna need to nurture them and explain the benefits, you'll also wanna collect that email early.

178
00:12:20.190 --> 00:12:26.255
The reason being is that you explain in a clean way, this is what you get when you join.

179
00:12:26.315 --> 00:12:32.715
Join us today, and you make the process as simple as clicking a button and then giving you their email address.

180
00:12:32.715 --> 00:12:34.815
Once you've collected the email information

181
00:12:35.195 --> 00:12:39.135
and they've created their free account, that is when you go to work.

182
00:12:39.459 --> 00:12:40.980
You have their contact information.

183
00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:49.700
You can optimize the email template that goes out to them when they signed up, and you can use other techniques to help upsell them into a higher membership tier.

184
00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:54.165
And I'd love to if you want, Jason, I could show some live examples of this.

185
00:12:54.565 --> 00:12:55.865
Yep. You've got it there.

186
00:12:56.404 --> 00:13:01.545
Alright. Fantastic. So here's an example. We've gone over this before. So join our designer network.

187
00:13:01.845 --> 00:13:04.005
I click the button. It's very easy.

188
00:13:04.005 --> 00:13:09.865
I'm not telling people we have a free plan, a medium plan, a gold plan, an advertiser plan, a diamond plan.

189
00:13:10.060 --> 00:13:12.000
I'm just telling them join our community,

190
00:13:13.180 --> 00:13:18.160
contribute today. And when they and and I I'm a big fan of actually streaming

191
00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:22.380
the most recent members below because that inspires them.

192
00:13:22.380 --> 00:13:24.880
They see other people are also joining the directory,

193
00:13:25.355 --> 00:13:27.355
so that'll increase conversions as well.

194
00:13:27.355 --> 00:13:32.315
But when they click on this button, I don't like taking them to a menu with different options like Jason was showing.

195
00:13:32.315 --> 00:13:34.735
I'm a big fan of taking them straight to the form.

196
00:13:35.035 --> 00:13:39.855
So all they have to do is fill out this form and they have their account.

197
00:13:41.020 --> 00:13:48.880
What I recommend doing if you're going that route is go into the admin portal, and I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys this right now.

198
00:13:51.180 --> 00:13:54.480
And we're gonna go into the email template section,

199
00:13:55.385 --> 00:14:01.325
And we're gonna see that I actually took some time and I customized the email template that's going out

200
00:14:01.705 --> 00:14:05.005
to the free members that are signing up, and I'm telling them,

201
00:14:05.625 --> 00:14:07.805
your free listing allows you to add content.

202
00:14:08.265 --> 00:14:10.265
You can add photos. You can add videos.

203
00:14:10.265 --> 00:14:18.760
So So whatever content you're allowing your free members to to start adding immediately, let them know in the email address so they can get to work and build out their profile.

204
00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:20.600
The more they use their profile,

205
00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:24.920
the easier it is gonna be to upsell them instead of paying membership tier.

206
00:14:25.485 --> 00:14:28.065
Then what I like to do is I like to set the expectation

207
00:14:28.605 --> 00:14:34.385
that someone is gonna be calling them to explain the benefits of joining this exclusive community.

208
00:14:34.765 --> 00:14:38.464
I wanna plant the seed that they're going to be receiving a phone call.

209
00:14:38.760 --> 00:14:40.940
The reality is as you're getting started,

210
00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:45.900
getting on the phone, using the traditional means of actually building a relationship,

211
00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:56.225
getting to know the person that just signed up, and being able to offer them something that's tailor made to what it is they're looking to do on your website is the best strategy,

212
00:14:56.765 --> 00:14:57.265
especially

213
00:14:57.645 --> 00:15:01.965
as you're starting out and you're really trying to generate those first sales.

214
00:15:01.965 --> 00:15:03.345
The first ones are always

215
00:15:03.885 --> 00:15:04.625
the hardest.

216
00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:07.399
Something else I wanted to show,

217
00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.440
for the free members, a little bit of a of a bonus,

218
00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:15.620
coverage here on this webinar. It's a tool that's Yeah. I wanna interrupt with Jess for a moment.

219
00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:17.560
You bring up a really good point about

220
00:15:18.095 --> 00:15:20.175
contacting the first members that are joining your site.

221
00:15:20.175 --> 00:15:25.155
I know we have a blog article somewhere about, you know, what how to get your first hundred members signed up.

222
00:15:25.535 --> 00:15:29.555
What's also important about calling your members, even if you're not a salesperson,

223
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:36.640
is they're gonna provide you with feedback, and you can ask them questions about what they liked or didn't like about your website.

224
00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:40.560
So again, you're just starting out. You're not Facebook yet. You're not LinkedIn yet.

225
00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:42.660
You're not that big. So any

226
00:15:43.134 --> 00:15:48.194
piece of information or feedback you can get to make the experience better is is critical,

227
00:15:49.295 --> 00:15:53.055
and you can get that information very quickly by just calling people when they sign up.

228
00:15:53.055 --> 00:15:57.449
They're gonna be very happy to hear from you. They're gonna feel like it's a concierge service.

229
00:15:57.449 --> 00:16:03.310
And, again, you can help them make their profile the best that it can be on your website because it's only gonna benefit your website,

230
00:16:04.649 --> 00:16:08.750
for in general for the future. So it's a good good strategy there, Pat.

231
00:16:09.485 --> 00:16:12.384
Alright. Thank you, Jason. Yeah. Excellent feedback on that.

232
00:16:12.685 --> 00:16:26.360
And then and then what I also wanted to show is once they do sign up as a free member, I wanna show you guys a tool that I think is heavily underutilized, and I'd be willing to bet that few people on this webinar are are actually doing this.

233
00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:33.080
So once I'm logged in as a free member, there's multiple different instances where I'm prompted to upgrade my account.

234
00:16:33.540 --> 00:16:36.440
This is also a link that you can send to people,

235
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:40.785
in terms of an email campaign to get them to upgrade as well.

236
00:16:41.005 --> 00:16:46.465
But what you're gonna see when I click on this link is you're gonna see the different plan that I can upgrade to.

237
00:16:46.845 --> 00:16:49.745
And you might see something that you don't see on your website,

238
00:16:50.125 --> 00:16:51.425
and that is a description

239
00:16:52.125 --> 00:16:54.705
letting them know what plan they're currently on.

240
00:16:54.970 --> 00:17:00.029
And if you'll notice for the premium level, what I did is I wrote a little description

241
00:17:00.330 --> 00:17:05.230
letting them know what they're gonna get on that premium membership level if they upgrade.

242
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:08.589
This is one of the most important pages on your directory.

243
00:17:08.970 --> 00:17:13.525
This is your sales page. You're most likely going to sign up people for free,

244
00:17:13.825 --> 00:17:15.525
and this is really the opportunity

245
00:17:15.825 --> 00:17:19.925
to capture their attention now that they've added content and added their profile.

246
00:17:20.225 --> 00:17:29.090
This is your opportunity to really highlight what it is they're getting in these other tiers more so than a traditional pricing menu that we were looking at earlier.

247
00:17:29.310 --> 00:17:32.370
So all of those best practices that Jason shared with

248
00:17:32.750 --> 00:17:39.695
you regarding what it only show the important information, keep it simple, That all applies to this page as well.

249
00:17:39.915 --> 00:17:43.215
And I'm gonna show you guys where you go to set this up,

250
00:17:43.675 --> 00:17:46.175
and and and inside of the administrative

251
00:17:46.715 --> 00:17:47.215
panel.

252
00:17:47.595 --> 00:17:49.535
So when we log in to the admin,

253
00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:52.860
we'll go to finance manage products,

254
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.640
and there are two boxes in particular.

255
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.820
And it's important understanding the difference between both, and it could be a little confusing.

256
00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:02.460
So we're gonna take our time explaining this.

257
00:18:02.855 --> 00:18:06.075
This particular member, Summer, is a free member.

258
00:18:06.855 --> 00:18:10.235
She is on the interior design contributor level.

259
00:18:11.255 --> 00:18:13.275
If we look here, there is a description

260
00:18:13.895 --> 00:18:18.400
explaining what the free level is about. This is called the from.

261
00:18:19.020 --> 00:18:21.660
So we're gonna look at that inside of the membership level.

262
00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:28.275
So if we open up interior design contributor and we click on edit, we're gonna go to the pricing tab.

263
00:18:28.515 --> 00:18:31.015
And here you'll see that I'm able to put a description

264
00:18:31.955 --> 00:18:34.035
from the free level. So this is what your free

265
00:18:35.635 --> 00:18:38.375
members will see on the upgrade page.

266
00:18:38.835 --> 00:18:39.975
The two description

267
00:18:40.435 --> 00:18:45.180
is a description that you'll show to somebody that's trying to upgrade to the free level.

268
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:49.520
But, of course, there is no upgrading to the free level. That's why that box is empty.

269
00:18:49.580 --> 00:18:53.600
But if we go back and we look at the premium level and we click edit,

270
00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:54.880
pricing,

271
00:18:55.340 --> 00:18:56.720
and we look at the two

272
00:18:57.175 --> 00:19:03.255
upgrade description, you're gonna see that the text that you're reading here is inside of this box right here.

273
00:19:03.255 --> 00:19:08.075
And one thing I love about it is you can put in some HTML code and it'll get respected,

274
00:19:08.455 --> 00:19:12.940
on the front end of the website. So you can have links in there if you like and so forth.

275
00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:17.100
So you could say, hey. For more information, click here. For more information, click there.

276
00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:21.040
You can watch a video here. You can really personalize this experience,

277
00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:25.040
for the end user and increase the likelihood they're gonna upgrade.

278
00:19:25.335 --> 00:19:30.054
I didn't put anything in the featured level because I wanted you to see what it looks like by default.

279
00:19:30.054 --> 00:19:32.395
So this is how whatever it looks like for everybody

280
00:19:32.934 --> 00:19:35.034
that launches a billing directory's license.

281
00:19:35.095 --> 00:19:43.330
So going my route and going and getting them to sign up for free with that particular landing page, I think it is important if you do go in that direction,

282
00:19:43.710 --> 00:19:44.690
take some time,

283
00:19:45.390 --> 00:19:48.610
customize the email template that they get after signing up,

284
00:19:49.150 --> 00:19:58.804
optimize the upselling in there, set the expectation that they're going to be receiving a phone call, and take a lot of time on this upgrade page and really sell

285
00:19:59.105 --> 00:20:02.005
why it is they wanna upgrade to the other membership tiers.

286
00:20:04.465 --> 00:20:05.525
Super, super,

287
00:20:06.225 --> 00:20:07.365
information. And,

288
00:20:08.800 --> 00:20:11.700
Pat, we created a a an article in our

289
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.860
in our community forum

290
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.660
on how to create that landing page. Right?

291
00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:20.400
Yeah. So we have we have two links.

292
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.760
Gabriel's gonna be kind enough to to share them with us right now.

293
00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:26.554
One of the links that we're sharing with everybody

294
00:20:27.895 --> 00:20:33.595
is the is is a link inside of our in our community that's gonna give you all the code that you need

295
00:20:34.054 --> 00:20:35.355
for this landing page.

296
00:20:35.655 --> 00:20:39.675
So Gabriel just pasted that link inside of the chat.

297
00:20:40.330 --> 00:20:41.550
Also, in that article

298
00:20:41.850 --> 00:20:42.590
is including

299
00:20:43.370 --> 00:20:46.330
information on how to add the code inside of a widget.

300
00:20:46.330 --> 00:20:50.670
So it has all of the information you need to set this up on your directory website.

301
00:20:51.290 --> 00:20:52.750
Also, the last webinar,

302
00:20:53.215 --> 00:20:54.115
we also promised,

303
00:20:54.895 --> 00:20:58.595
the code here and people emailed in. We were able to to send that out,

304
00:20:58.975 --> 00:21:10.650
but if you missed the last webinar and you wanna get the code for our get match landing page, we also added that code in a snippet and another, article inside of our community documentation,

305
00:21:11.350 --> 00:21:13.910
and Gabriel's also gonna be sending that link.

306
00:21:13.910 --> 00:21:23.695
So everybody on this webinar, you can copy those two links that are pasted in the chat and copy the code and follow the instructions to set up this page easily on your websites.

307
00:21:24.075 --> 00:21:24.315
Yeah.

308
00:21:24.315 --> 00:21:29.995
At best, you have to just create a new widget and then enter the actual text that's gonna be specific to your website.

309
00:21:29.995 --> 00:21:32.175
So you're just switching out the text basically.

310
00:21:33.115 --> 00:21:33.615
Correct.

311
00:21:34.130 --> 00:21:35.750
And maybe the smiley guy here.

312
00:21:36.850 --> 00:21:39.590
And maybe the smiley guy. I like the smiley guy.

313
00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:41.970
Awesome.

314
00:21:41.970 --> 00:21:47.830
So what we'd like to do now is we actually I'm a I'm a pass the controls back to myself, Pat.

315
00:21:48.375 --> 00:21:52.875
Is, what we would like to do is for you guys to share your websites,

316
00:21:53.895 --> 00:21:58.875
and let's review your membership levels and maybe the process you're using to

317
00:21:59.255 --> 00:22:04.600
convert people into sign ups and see if we can provide any suggestions. So if you want to,

318
00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:07.640
what I'll do is I'll I'll lower everyone's hands right now.

319
00:22:08.179 --> 00:22:10.679
If you want to use the raise your hand feature,

320
00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:15.140
we can actually take a look at your website. We'll take a live look, and we can share,

321
00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:16.200
some ideas

322
00:22:16.745 --> 00:22:18.125
on how you can maybe,

323
00:22:18.665 --> 00:22:20.845
use some of these strategies on your own site.

324
00:22:22.425 --> 00:22:22.905
Alright.

325
00:22:23.225 --> 00:22:24.205
Let's see here.

326
00:22:24.825 --> 00:22:25.325
Jarvis?

327
00:22:26.745 --> 00:22:29.405
Yes, Jason? How are you? Did I pronounce your name correctly?

328
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.100
Yes. Of course. You did correct. Thank you. Great. Where are you calling in from?

329
00:22:34.800 --> 00:22:38.020
I'm calling from Tanzania, Dallas, and it's in East Africa.

330
00:22:38.320 --> 00:22:42.740
Okay. Very good. Very good. And what's your website that we can take a look at together?

331
00:22:43.765 --> 00:22:48.345
AfyaAfya,afya,directory.com.

332
00:22:48.485 --> 00:22:50.105
Got it. Okay. Thank you.

333
00:22:50.485 --> 00:22:50.985
Mhmm.

334
00:22:52.325 --> 00:22:54.985
Okay. And what type of directory is this?

335
00:22:56.580 --> 00:22:58.200
It's a directly phone.

336
00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:00.840
It's it deals with health,

337
00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:03.480
doctors, and medical institutions.

338
00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:07.160
Okay. I see you've you've kept the main menu,

339
00:23:07.780 --> 00:23:08.600
pretty simple.

340
00:23:09.565 --> 00:23:13.505
And I see you have some buttons here. You've you've customized and added these yourself.

341
00:23:14.685 --> 00:23:18.205
Yes. I did. Okay. And so who's who's joining your site?

342
00:23:18.205 --> 00:23:20.865
Is it the doctors that are joining or the nurses?

343
00:23:21.325 --> 00:23:23.105
Who's exactly joining the site?

344
00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:28.640
It's doctors and medical clinics that are in the in Tanzania, actually.

345
00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:31.360
So mainly doctors and medical clinics.

346
00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:32.480
Okay.

347
00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:34.940
I see you've also I haven't seen this before.

348
00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:37.760
I see you've created a custom page where people can register.

349
00:23:39.795 --> 00:23:40.035
Yes.

350
00:23:40.035 --> 00:23:46.855
I actually, I was trying to get rid of this stage because I wanted just people to go straight to the create account page,

351
00:23:47.475 --> 00:23:49.095
same way as Patrick explained,

352
00:23:49.475 --> 00:23:52.535
but I couldn't change the link on get listed

353
00:23:52.995 --> 00:23:58.039
there. So that's why I had to customize that. Okay. Let me help you out here. Yes.

354
00:23:58.260 --> 00:24:02.679
So let's get this going to where you want it. So we wanna go to the toolbox

355
00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:07.159
main menu. I like the look the subtle changes you've done on your site. They're very nice.

356
00:24:08.755 --> 00:24:09.495
Thank you.

357
00:24:10.835 --> 00:24:11.335
And

358
00:24:11.795 --> 00:24:13.575
let's do this. Let's say,

359
00:24:14.035 --> 00:24:14.535
medical

360
00:24:15.475 --> 00:24:15.975
professionals.

361
00:24:17.875 --> 00:24:19.095
Yes. And then

362
00:24:19.635 --> 00:24:21.575
maybe join join our network.

363
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.100
I like maybe

364
00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:25.340
join our network.

365
00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:30.520
Mhmm. And then what you wanna do so this is going to the join page.

366
00:24:30.520 --> 00:24:34.520
So this is the title in the in the top there. This is the link that it goes to.

367
00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:39.075
So for you, you wanna go to checkout three. I'm assuming that's your free sign up page.

368
00:24:39.695 --> 00:24:41.395
So if you guys are wondering

369
00:24:41.855 --> 00:24:48.035
for those of you watching, if you're wondering how do I link to my checkout page, how do I link to my free sign up page?

370
00:24:48.255 --> 00:24:50.115
If you go to your manage products,

371
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.260
each of your products has a sign up page. And you can,

372
00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:59.340
you know, depending on your browser, you can right click and just copy the link,

373
00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:03.340
and then you can you can use it in in places like this.

374
00:25:04.774 --> 00:25:06.615
So in this case, it's checkout three.

375
00:25:06.615 --> 00:25:10.934
Checkout three, also the number three refers to the ID of the product.

376
00:25:10.934 --> 00:25:16.294
So you see all the products have IDs, product four, product three, product ID two.

377
00:25:16.294 --> 00:25:20.919
So if you're wondering how to create links, you just wanna do forward slash checkout

378
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:22.360
forward slash

379
00:25:22.820 --> 00:25:25.399
the ID of the product. So let's save those changes,

380
00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:30.820
and let's see how that fits on the page. It might be a little too long. We'll see.

381
00:25:30.820 --> 00:25:33.000
Oh, I like that it goes to two lines actually.

382
00:25:34.085 --> 00:25:38.185
Because it's a little it's a little too long for this line. Medical professionals with an s.

383
00:25:41.285 --> 00:25:44.345
And how how have you been marketing the site so far?

384
00:25:47.270 --> 00:25:51.930
So far, I have some guys going rotating to different clinics and medical associations.

385
00:25:52.150 --> 00:25:54.010
They are talking to them as my sales,

386
00:25:54.630 --> 00:25:55.130
persons.

387
00:25:56.230 --> 00:25:57.910
So that's the only way I've been doing it.

388
00:25:57.910 --> 00:26:02.644
And, also, I have some marketing campaigns in social networks like Facebook and Instagram.

389
00:26:03.904 --> 00:26:04.404
Okay.

390
00:26:04.945 --> 00:26:09.524
Very good. Do you want us to recommend anything else, or are you good with this link up here?

391
00:26:10.625 --> 00:26:12.565
Yes. You can recommend something else.

392
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:14.419
Patrick, what recommendations

393
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.240
would you have for a site like this?

394
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:20.020
It's this is very reminiscent of of fine medical tourism in my opinion.

395
00:26:21.120 --> 00:26:21.600
Yeah. My

396
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:28.419
what what I would like to have is an a clearer message in terms of what the website's about.

397
00:26:29.174 --> 00:26:34.075
I know it says top rated doctors, but you're not speaking to the website visitor.

398
00:26:34.615 --> 00:26:39.995
Probably, I'd really wanna work on the messaging so that if I'm new to your website and have never visited before,

399
00:26:40.695 --> 00:26:45.060
I can instantly understand what you're expecting me to do and what kind of information

400
00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:46.740
I can find.

401
00:26:47.760 --> 00:26:48.260
Okay.

402
00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:52.100
Where what is the location? Your Tanzania

403
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:53.780
is is what you're targeting?

404
00:26:55.125 --> 00:26:59.465
Yes. I'm look targeting Tanzania. Okay. Tanzania. Okay. It's fine.

405
00:26:59.765 --> 00:27:00.265
Yes.

406
00:27:01.605 --> 00:27:04.965
So let me just quickly update this. We we do this a lot in the webinars.

407
00:27:04.965 --> 00:27:10.105
It's just it's clearly updating the the messaging. So if we refresh this now,

408
00:27:11.170 --> 00:27:12.870
find trusted medical professionals

409
00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:14.230
in Tanzania.

410
00:27:14.770 --> 00:27:20.150
You can you can work on the design a bit more here with the playing with the fonts and whatnot, font sizes.

411
00:27:21.330 --> 00:27:23.990
But now as Patrick said, it's a little more clear

412
00:27:24.355 --> 00:27:27.894
what this directory is because I didn't know what Afia directory is,

413
00:27:28.995 --> 00:27:30.595
or Okay. Or the purpose.

414
00:27:30.595 --> 00:27:35.174
So I would cultivate a bit more on focusing what the purpose of your website is.

415
00:27:35.475 --> 00:27:39.174
Maybe in your main menu, I would have a link that says our mission and goal

416
00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:40.160
because

417
00:27:40.620 --> 00:27:42.220
it sounds like you have a good mission here.

418
00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:45.440
You wanna connect people with with trusted medical professionals.

419
00:27:46.700 --> 00:27:50.240
So I would create a page that talks about your mission and goal here.

420
00:27:51.820 --> 00:27:54.880
Thanks. I think I will do that. It sounds like a good idea.

421
00:27:55.384 --> 00:27:57.965
Okay. Alright. Thank you very much for sharing your site with us.

422
00:27:59.144 --> 00:28:03.164
Thank you so much, Jason. You have been very helpful today. Awesome. Thank you.

423
00:28:03.784 --> 00:28:05.544
Alright. Good good simple example there.

424
00:28:05.544 --> 00:28:11.670
We didn't do too much there, but some just again, it's a lot of it comes down to mesh messaging and how you're directing,

425
00:28:12.370 --> 00:28:13.910
your visitors on your site.

426
00:28:14.290 --> 00:28:17.510
Alright. Greg, I've unmuted your microphone. You there with us, Greg?

427
00:28:18.370 --> 00:28:20.230
Yes. I am. How you doing?

428
00:28:21.195 --> 00:28:22.095
Good. Good.

429
00:28:22.554 --> 00:28:27.535
A little bit nervous for you guys scrutinizing the site, but it definitely needs any help. So

430
00:28:28.235 --> 00:28:29.934
That's okay. What's your site name?

431
00:28:30.635 --> 00:28:33.434
It's localcatholicbusiness.com.

432
00:28:33.434 --> 00:28:33.934
Okay.

433
00:28:34.580 --> 00:28:35.080
And

434
00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:36.820
who are who's the target,

435
00:28:37.220 --> 00:28:39.720
member that you're trying to register or sign up?

436
00:28:40.020 --> 00:28:41.640
Primarily Catholic businesses.

437
00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:43.720
Okay. Catholic owned businesses.

438
00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:47.160
Local area, Dallas Fort Worth.

439
00:28:47.515 --> 00:28:48.575
Okay. Very good.

440
00:28:49.995 --> 00:28:54.255
Okay. So let's let's check it out here. Localcatholicbusiness.com.

441
00:28:56.475 --> 00:28:59.294
So so right off the bat, I, I do like

442
00:28:59.620 --> 00:29:04.360
personally using more of a a horizontal logo, like if the text was on the side of the icon.

443
00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:06.200
And let me see.

444
00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:10.679
Because it does save a lot of space, there's a lot of white space here.

445
00:29:12.035 --> 00:29:16.914
And then people with smaller monitors, they can't they might just see, like, up to the main menu.

446
00:29:16.914 --> 00:29:18.294
They might not even see,

447
00:29:18.755 --> 00:29:19.815
this part here.

448
00:29:21.235 --> 00:29:21.735
Mhmm.

449
00:29:23.155 --> 00:29:26.679
Let me go to your let's go to your your membership levels here.

450
00:29:26.679 --> 00:29:29.899
So your goal is to register the the businesses. Right?

451
00:29:30.840 --> 00:29:31.240
Correct.

452
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:39.320
And one thing I like from that, last gentleman who you displayed a site is where you see get listed to get today on the upper right.

453
00:29:39.320 --> 00:29:39.820
Right.

454
00:29:40.235 --> 00:29:43.215
I like how that was displayed below.

455
00:29:44.395 --> 00:29:44.895
Gotcha.

456
00:29:46.555 --> 00:29:46.795
Yeah.

457
00:29:46.795 --> 00:29:53.775
You can usually, when the button is is a little longer, it'll go up to up to this line, like, right to the where the select language is.

458
00:29:54.370 --> 00:29:57.350
It'll go it'll automatically go to the next next line.

459
00:29:57.970 --> 00:29:59.830
Let's take a look at your membership levels.

460
00:30:03.809 --> 00:30:04.309
Okay.

461
00:30:05.330 --> 00:30:09.030
This breaks a lot of the principles you guys just were talking about.

462
00:30:10.095 --> 00:30:10.915
Right. Right.

463
00:30:13.775 --> 00:30:16.655
Yeah. Because when you have plans like this, this is a really good example.

464
00:30:16.655 --> 00:30:20.275
It takes a lot of explaining to explain to someone what the benefits,

465
00:30:21.935 --> 00:30:23.315
what the benefits are.

466
00:30:24.390 --> 00:30:34.230
It's not necessarily a bad thing, but again, the more time it takes for someone to figure out which plan is right for them, the it's the chances are they probably won't sign up in the end.

467
00:30:34.230 --> 00:30:36.490
The probability starts working against you.

468
00:30:39.085 --> 00:30:43.425
And and right now these are this when I when I'm confronted with this, I like to ask myself,

469
00:30:43.965 --> 00:30:44.785
in the shoes

470
00:30:45.325 --> 00:30:47.745
of a local Catholic business owner,

471
00:30:48.125 --> 00:30:53.750
what could you tell me that would make me want to go through the steps of even signing up on the website?

472
00:30:54.289 --> 00:30:56.309
I think it's it would be really important,

473
00:30:57.169 --> 00:30:59.750
even if it's not, you know, maybe a %

474
00:31:00.049 --> 00:31:03.649
true initially, you can work towards it becoming more and more.

475
00:31:03.649 --> 00:31:06.950
You can really leverage the fact that they're gonna have access

476
00:31:07.545 --> 00:31:09.165
to a network of consumers

477
00:31:09.705 --> 00:31:12.125
that care about supporting Catholic businesses.

478
00:31:12.585 --> 00:31:21.325
To me, that's the message you wanna give to business owners is there's a lot of people out there that we can reach out to and help promote your business,

479
00:31:21.820 --> 00:31:26.800
that wanna support your business, but you need to join our network in order for that to happen.

480
00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:33.840
That might be a good message to to to relay to them, to explain what the mission is of your website.

481
00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.880
You probably

482
00:31:35.295 --> 00:31:36.995
see a much higher conversion

483
00:31:37.455 --> 00:31:39.615
because they're not gonna have to try to understand.

484
00:31:39.615 --> 00:31:50.515
I think I don't think you need to sell them yet on the idea of you can post coupons, and you can post events, and you can post classifieds or whatever features you decided to open up to them.

485
00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:56.360
I don't think the typical business owner is gonna try to understand what they can do on on your website.

486
00:31:56.500 --> 00:31:59.000
I think they're just gonna like the exposure

487
00:31:59.539 --> 00:32:05.799
aspect of it that they have a bigger reach and that you'll be promoting on their you'll be promoting their business to your,

488
00:32:06.125 --> 00:32:06.365
of,

489
00:32:07.005 --> 00:32:09.425
to your I I wanna say your faithful visitors.

490
00:32:10.125 --> 00:32:12.785
But, but, yeah, I think that might be one good approach.

491
00:32:13.245 --> 00:32:18.865
And one thing you mentioned which, does intrigue me and makes actually more sense is,

492
00:32:19.325 --> 00:32:22.070
using that join the community approach,

493
00:32:22.610 --> 00:32:24.070
getting them to sign up

494
00:32:24.370 --> 00:32:25.029
as such.

495
00:32:25.889 --> 00:32:26.389
And,

496
00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:27.990
from there,

497
00:32:28.370 --> 00:32:30.549
not trying to sell, you know,

498
00:32:31.649 --> 00:32:36.149
maybe not even displaying membership options, doing that in person first.

499
00:32:37.304 --> 00:32:38.525
Yep. That's Correct.

500
00:32:39.065 --> 00:32:39.544
Correct.

501
00:32:39.544 --> 00:32:44.845
If you could have somebody if you can get someone to sign up, add their profile, it's the little wins

502
00:32:45.304 --> 00:32:50.044
that give you a sign on who's worth calling. If they uploaded a profile photo,

503
00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:51.889
that's a great opportunity

504
00:32:52.190 --> 00:32:56.769
to give them a call and to welcome them and say, hey. I see you uploaded your profile photo.

505
00:32:56.909 --> 00:33:00.049
Just wanted to see if you had any questions about creating a profile.

506
00:33:00.909 --> 00:33:08.735
I I I does your does your does your local business offer any local deals or have any events or whatever feature,

507
00:33:09.274 --> 00:33:12.475
you're opening up to your members, you ask them if they do those things.

508
00:33:12.475 --> 00:33:16.575
And if they say yes, you could tell them, hey. I'd be happy to show you

509
00:33:16.875 --> 00:33:24.680
via join, me link right now if you wanna if you want me to walk you through it, or we can schedule a time to go over how to take advantage of your profile.

510
00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:27.560
And as you're building that relationship with them,

511
00:33:28.260 --> 00:33:37.625
if if as we're all business owners here on this on on this webinar, most of us, and we can all relate to a business owner not being too sure what to do to promote their business.

512
00:33:37.625 --> 00:33:45.245
So the same way that you're trying to figure out how to promote your online business, your members are looking for somebody to guide them in the right direction.

513
00:33:45.420 --> 00:34:01.005
So as soon as you can leverage yourself as being a marketing expert, somebody that's helpful and helps promote their content and special offers, the higher the probability goes that they're gonna be willing to purchase one of your premium plans because they're gonna see that they're gonna have you on their team at that point.

514
00:34:01.485 --> 00:34:02.225
I see.

515
00:34:03.085 --> 00:34:07.665
One other thing I'm struggling is with is the real estate on the home page

516
00:34:08.605 --> 00:34:09.885
trying perhaps not

517
00:34:10.605 --> 00:34:13.505
I don't know if I'm just explaining too much or whatnot.

518
00:34:14.630 --> 00:34:15.370
Right now,

519
00:34:16.070 --> 00:34:21.130
I have a few I'm calling them ambassadors, like founding members that I'm featuring,

520
00:34:22.630 --> 00:34:28.170
just really trying to get robust content. So before I start moving to a consumer focus

521
00:34:29.005 --> 00:34:29.404
that,

522
00:34:29.804 --> 00:34:31.585
I've got robust representation

523
00:34:32.045 --> 00:34:33.744
under the major categories,

524
00:34:35.405 --> 00:34:43.984
I'm trying to make this site attractive to a business owner where they see and they're like, oh, I've got this exposure on the home page, but now I'm thinking I may have too much.

525
00:34:45.640 --> 00:34:46.540
And the category

526
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:50.699
I'm sorry. Yep. No. That that is looking go ahead, Pat.

527
00:34:52.040 --> 00:34:57.465
I was gonna say it I do like that you're taking the time to give it. We spent a lot of time on that.

528
00:34:57.625 --> 00:35:01.405
Making a visitor feel like you've been around, that it is filled with content.

529
00:35:01.705 --> 00:35:04.265
I do like that you have a lot of recent members on there.

530
00:35:04.265 --> 00:35:08.685
It makes me feel like it's a real business and it is a real network, and I wanna sign up.

531
00:35:09.590 --> 00:35:12.250
The couple of small details at the home page,

532
00:35:12.550 --> 00:35:18.630
I do think the the mini nav at the top has too many call to actions, and it has the Google Translate tool.

533
00:35:18.630 --> 00:35:21.210
I'd probably look to simplify that so you can really,

534
00:35:21.830 --> 00:35:25.455
focus on one clear call to action you'd like to drive your members

535
00:35:25.935 --> 00:35:29.795
towards. And then in the and then the hero divider, you have excellence

536
00:35:30.255 --> 00:35:31.315
you have excellent,

537
00:35:33.135 --> 00:35:37.875
call to actions with no button to click on them. So register. Okay. I wanna register.

538
00:35:37.935 --> 00:35:42.020
How do I register? Or search. Yeah. I'd love to search. How do I search?

539
00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:49.060
And when you go into mobile view on the Brilliant Directories platform, you're gonna see that those three icons

540
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.880
take up insanely important real estate on a mobile phone.

541
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.484
They have to click and read through those three icons to get to the rest of the content.

542
00:35:57.625 --> 00:36:00.525
So I really try to make those three,

543
00:36:01.065 --> 00:36:04.585
those three hero divider call to actions as engaging as possible.

544
00:36:04.585 --> 00:36:07.164
So Jason's gonna show everyone right here.

545
00:36:07.785 --> 00:36:11.930
Where he went is in the design settings. There's a place for you to put a button

546
00:36:12.310 --> 00:36:14.570
and then a a URL. So register

547
00:36:15.430 --> 00:36:18.970
free or register today or register now or add your business,

548
00:36:19.590 --> 00:36:20.870
advertise with us.

549
00:36:20.870 --> 00:36:25.155
You can make those the call to action buttons and link to the pages you want them to.

550
00:36:25.235 --> 00:36:31.895
And now that real estate that you have on your web on your home page is actually gonna help drive traffic to those pages.

551
00:36:32.035 --> 00:36:34.055
It's a very good educational tool.

552
00:36:34.915 --> 00:36:42.420
And so let's I'll wait for Jason to show everybody what that looks like, so we can see the difference between the two, and I'll give you my last

553
00:36:42.799 --> 00:36:44.960
piece of feedback that I'm seeing on the home page.

554
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.460
So what I'll do is I'll I'll leave this third spot,

555
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:52.420
without a link so we can compare the differences. I'm gonna link to the search results page here.

556
00:36:52.625 --> 00:36:54.785
This is the hero divider. This is the three pages.

557
00:36:54.785 --> 00:36:59.125
What I've also done is, I'm gonna remove the Google Translate if that's okay with you.

558
00:36:59.424 --> 00:37:00.805
And then also because,

559
00:37:01.984 --> 00:37:04.724
you're focusing on Dallas and and Fort Worth, Texas,

560
00:37:05.720 --> 00:37:06.220
Well,

561
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:12.700
I was gonna say get rid of the location input for now and just focus on the keyword so people can search by category.

562
00:37:13.640 --> 00:37:17.740
But I guess we can keep that the way it is right now. So let me revert that back.

563
00:37:19.695 --> 00:37:24.255
It's also a great place to put a banner to join join your site, so instead of putting a search there.

564
00:37:24.255 --> 00:37:25.715
So let me just save these changes.

565
00:37:30.095 --> 00:37:41.400
Other criticism just here besides I mean, I think I think this was a good example of it's not horrible, it's just it can start imagine if someone had eight plans and then they had four more plans on the next line like this.

566
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:45.580
I've seen it before. That's the kind of stuff that you want to kind of try to stay away from.

567
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:47.500
So let's refresh the homepage.

568
00:37:48.695 --> 00:37:53.415
I've seen people with 16 plans. So you can see here now that there's a button here.

569
00:37:53.415 --> 00:37:55.755
It says search now. Again, just very simple.

570
00:37:55.895 --> 00:38:02.155
Maybe you want to make sure that the promotional text is all is two lines each rather than or one line each,

571
00:38:03.300 --> 00:38:06.040
And then you can see how this one doesn't have a button here.

572
00:38:08.340 --> 00:38:12.760
So let me let me do this. Let me send people to the how it works page there,

573
00:38:13.140 --> 00:38:14.600
just so it's complete.

574
00:38:17.255 --> 00:38:18.635
Pick up the link there

575
00:38:19.815 --> 00:38:22.075
and see how it works.

576
00:38:28.910 --> 00:38:30.830
Let me oops. I finicky there.

577
00:38:31.710 --> 00:38:32.770
I was gonna say

578
00:38:42.425 --> 00:38:46.185
It's free register your business. And this is going to check out 10. You saw how I did that?

579
00:38:46.185 --> 00:38:48.285
That's gonna take people directly to

580
00:38:48.585 --> 00:38:51.625
the checkout page from your homepage. So they're they're gonna wanna register.

581
00:38:51.625 --> 00:38:54.925
Now if you can just make a compelling reason for them to register,

582
00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:57.940
you'll you'll get more free sign ups.

583
00:38:57.940 --> 00:39:01.720
And as Pat said, then then that's when you your turn time to go to work.

584
00:39:02.260 --> 00:39:07.480
So here's it with the three buttons. And then on mobile view let me get rid of the sidebar here.

585
00:39:10.375 --> 00:39:12.795
If we if we're looking at this on a mobile device,

586
00:39:13.654 --> 00:39:17.255
you now have a call to action under each one of them rather than

587
00:39:18.055 --> 00:39:22.980
so when someone's scrolling, they can see search now, register free, and how it works as well.

588
00:39:25.700 --> 00:39:31.160
One thing Yeah. Go ahead, Ben. One thing I I like one thing I like doing on the add a coupon,

589
00:39:31.540 --> 00:39:32.359
add a

590
00:39:32.820 --> 00:39:37.320
add a if if you have content you're trying to promote, like I saw that you're promoting coupons,

591
00:39:37.905 --> 00:39:38.405
classifieds.

592
00:39:38.705 --> 00:39:41.125
I've seen some people use these three buttons

593
00:39:41.665 --> 00:39:42.165
as

594
00:39:42.545 --> 00:39:45.445
educating people what they can do. So add a classified,

595
00:39:45.985 --> 00:39:46.885
add a coupon,

596
00:39:47.425 --> 00:39:48.485
add a property.

597
00:39:48.785 --> 00:39:55.860
And when they click on it, it takes them to the screen that lets them know that they have to be logged in in order to add that to access that page.

598
00:39:55.860 --> 00:40:03.800
So it's one way of promoting the content, or you can have them all go to a landing page that educates them on you can add classifieds on our website.

599
00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:08.234
You can add coupons on our website. Put yourself in the shoes of your consumer.

600
00:40:08.234 --> 00:40:11.835
They're not they don't understand what they can do on your site.

601
00:40:11.835 --> 00:40:18.954
So those three that hero divider, how I've seen it best utilized is walking people through the type of content that they can add.

602
00:40:18.954 --> 00:40:20.415
And once they understand,

603
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:27.740
they can add a classified, they can add a deal, they can add an event, they can promote their local cap they they can promote their local event.

604
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:32.380
Then at that point, conversions go up because they see the value of joining.

605
00:40:33.085 --> 00:40:35.185
And one one final thing here

606
00:40:35.565 --> 00:40:38.865
is you don't wanna cover people's faces with your text.

607
00:40:39.485 --> 00:40:43.905
It just doesn't and and we have a brown on brown, so it's hard to read this.

608
00:40:44.205 --> 00:40:45.825
If you look at our demo example,

609
00:40:46.125 --> 00:40:47.585
the subject of the photo

610
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:57.819
is on the right hand side, or it could be the left hand side, but then the left side of the screen is left kind of blurry, or it's not the subject, or some type of a background.

611
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:02.985
You can see here with the dog, he's on some type of park or bridge.

612
00:41:03.205 --> 00:41:05.785
That's kinda what we wanna go for with

613
00:41:06.405 --> 00:41:10.005
the homepage image. I see it many times. This is a perfect example.

614
00:41:10.005 --> 00:41:12.025
So it's a lady in front of her shop,

615
00:41:12.725 --> 00:41:14.665
construction worker at the job site,

616
00:41:15.860 --> 00:41:19.720
And and that and again, if you're gonna go with a search on the homepage,

617
00:41:20.180 --> 00:41:23.160
that's that's the better type of photo that you wanna

618
00:41:24.820 --> 00:41:25.560
use. Alright?

619
00:41:26.180 --> 00:41:32.825
And Greg, are you are you familiar with how to add I see you're streaming your top level categories, but they're all empty icons.

620
00:41:32.825 --> 00:41:38.685
Are you familiar with how to add an image to that streaming widget so that it adds a lot of color and visuals to your website?

621
00:41:39.145 --> 00:41:41.885
Yeah. Yeah. It's something I just haven't

622
00:41:43.630 --> 00:41:47.570
done as of yet. But, yeah, I know we could go into the category section.

623
00:41:47.710 --> 00:41:50.990
It has that where you can add a URL link.

624
00:41:50.990 --> 00:41:58.290
And I think what I'm gonna do is move my featured members or featured member over to represent each category,

625
00:41:59.935 --> 00:42:01.474
and then have this

626
00:42:02.095 --> 00:42:05.474
really specific to all the brand new members up top.

627
00:42:06.095 --> 00:42:06.595
Okay.

628
00:42:07.375 --> 00:42:09.795
Alright. Well, thank you for sharing your site with us, Greg.

629
00:42:10.815 --> 00:42:13.555
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Sure thing.

630
00:42:13.869 --> 00:42:16.609
Nice suggestions there. Alright. Good stuff there

631
00:42:16.990 --> 00:42:20.690
on how to kind of create a better flow and better,

632
00:42:21.230 --> 00:42:26.050
navigation on how people register to your site. Thanks for sharing your site, guys.

633
00:42:26.715 --> 00:42:30.795
And what we'll do is we'll switch it back over to an open q and a discussion.

634
00:42:30.795 --> 00:42:35.035
We can answer any questions at all, that you have about your Brilliant Directories website.

635
00:42:35.035 --> 00:42:42.175
Maybe you are stuck on trying to figure out how to do something, or you're trying to accomplish something that doesn't seem it has a setting,

636
00:42:43.250 --> 00:42:46.470
or you just have a general question on how to market your site,

637
00:42:46.770 --> 00:42:51.430
what you can do is you can use the raise your hand feature, or you can chat in your questions,

638
00:42:51.970 --> 00:42:57.270
and we will go ahead and unmute your mic and we'll do the best that we can to assist you.

639
00:42:57.474 --> 00:43:05.415
Jason, I do have some people asking in the chat about the latest update for the call to actions such as post to job, post to classified.

640
00:43:05.714 --> 00:43:06.694
They're just asking,

641
00:43:07.234 --> 00:43:11.650
if that's been released or if there's a release date coming up soon regarding that new feature.

642
00:43:11.650 --> 00:43:15.250
Maybe we can catch everyone up on on that cool new update. Yeah.

643
00:43:15.250 --> 00:43:19.190
So we were gonna send this in our October I'm sorry, November newsletter.

644
00:43:19.570 --> 00:43:20.950
There's actually two updates.

645
00:43:21.970 --> 00:43:23.270
Let me show you guys.

646
00:43:24.204 --> 00:43:25.345
One of them is

647
00:43:25.964 --> 00:43:27.265
in the homepage layout.

648
00:43:27.805 --> 00:43:32.305
Obviously Greg is familiar with the homepage section order. This is where you can choose to

649
00:43:32.684 --> 00:43:35.184
render or display certain things on your homepage.

650
00:43:35.805 --> 00:43:40.769
And with the homepage streaming section order, we've updated these section order options.

651
00:43:40.769 --> 00:43:43.190
So this used to be a bunch of open fields,

652
00:43:43.490 --> 00:43:46.069
now they're each in their own little toggle box.

653
00:43:46.690 --> 00:43:48.549
So it's a little bit easier to

654
00:43:48.930 --> 00:43:52.630
edit some of the options that are available that correspond to

655
00:43:53.105 --> 00:43:58.484
the streaming widgets like the title to show above the the widget that the content that you're streaming.

656
00:43:58.944 --> 00:44:02.645
More importantly, and I think is more exciting, we always had,

657
00:44:03.265 --> 00:44:03.924
a streaming

658
00:44:04.385 --> 00:44:06.805
homepage widget where you can stream

659
00:44:07.180 --> 00:44:08.800
your articles with a sidebar,

660
00:44:09.660 --> 00:44:13.280
or your blog articles with a sidebar. Let me show you what that looks like.

661
00:44:14.220 --> 00:44:15.760
Let me go to our,

662
00:44:17.180 --> 00:44:19.520
here this church demo has it,

663
00:44:20.220 --> 00:44:20.720
and

664
00:44:21.420 --> 00:44:29.095
if you scroll down here, some of you may be streaming articles on your homepage, or some other type of content, and you have a sidebar here.

665
00:44:29.235 --> 00:44:33.495
So up until now it was always the post search results sidebar.

666
00:44:33.795 --> 00:44:36.375
But with this update you have a few options.

667
00:44:37.859 --> 00:44:39.720
One is, and I'll close this one here.

668
00:44:40.180 --> 00:44:41.720
You can choose no sidebar.

669
00:44:42.020 --> 00:44:44.740
You can now choose the sidebar you want to show there.

670
00:44:44.740 --> 00:44:48.440
So you can create your own sidebar and it could be unique as your homepage

671
00:44:48.995 --> 00:44:53.175
sidebar with all the widgets and modules or banner ads that you want in there.

672
00:44:53.395 --> 00:44:54.535
So that's really cool.

673
00:44:54.915 --> 00:45:00.055
Number two, that's new is you can align the sidebar right or you can align the sidebar

674
00:45:00.595 --> 00:45:04.590
left. So this sidebar here could be on the left side of the articles.

675
00:45:05.130 --> 00:45:06.830
And lastly, if you choose

676
00:45:07.210 --> 00:45:08.030
no sidebar,

677
00:45:08.570 --> 00:45:12.170
then the content will just go full width across the screen. So,

678
00:45:13.235 --> 00:45:17.895
it just depends on what kind of aesthetic you're looking for, but now you'll have more control

679
00:45:18.515 --> 00:45:21.415
with where the sidebars positioned with these

680
00:45:21.795 --> 00:45:23.815
types of streaming widgets for your homepage.

681
00:45:24.515 --> 00:45:26.935
What I really like is you can now choose the sidebar

682
00:45:27.260 --> 00:45:29.119
that you want on the on the homepage.

683
00:45:29.819 --> 00:45:31.520
What Pat is referring to,

684
00:45:32.300 --> 00:45:34.559
is and let me go to an example

685
00:45:35.260 --> 00:45:35.760
here.

686
00:45:37.740 --> 00:45:42.640
So we did have an update. Let me log in. This is our demo site here. Let me log in as a member.

687
00:45:43.305 --> 00:45:45.805
And also let me open the manage products here.

688
00:45:47.145 --> 00:45:51.405
So let me log in as for example, Jennifer Cook, who's a premium member.

689
00:45:53.385 --> 00:45:55.590
So normally when a member logs in,

690
00:45:56.230 --> 00:46:00.970
they're taken to a page that you specify. Generally it's their dashboard, and Jennifer

691
00:46:02.070 --> 00:46:07.850
is can see, you know, her account details and some of these action links. What we've created now,

692
00:46:08.165 --> 00:46:12.345
Jennifer is a premium member, so let me edit the premium membership level.

693
00:46:13.605 --> 00:46:18.825
There is a new option that you can enable under additional settings for your different membership levels,

694
00:46:19.285 --> 00:46:20.425
and it's called

695
00:46:20.805 --> 00:46:22.905
show ad content in dashboard.

696
00:46:23.570 --> 00:46:25.230
And what this does is,

697
00:46:26.369 --> 00:46:27.750
Jennifer has the ability

698
00:46:28.930 --> 00:46:31.910
to publish content such as articles,

699
00:46:33.330 --> 00:46:35.030
audio files, classifieds,

700
00:46:35.410 --> 00:46:35.910
coupons.

701
00:46:36.405 --> 00:46:38.425
So she's got the whole shebang, Jennifer.

702
00:46:38.965 --> 00:46:42.585
When that setting is enabled and set to yes, if I refresh the page,

703
00:46:43.845 --> 00:46:48.165
you can see now she has a section at the top when she logs in to add content.

704
00:46:48.165 --> 00:46:51.225
She's prompted to start contributing content to the website,

705
00:46:51.590 --> 00:46:53.770
and it's the same things that she can

706
00:46:54.150 --> 00:46:56.010
do here. So videos, properties.

707
00:46:56.390 --> 00:47:02.810
The benefit of this is when members are using their mobile phones, or tablets, or device, or other devices,

708
00:47:03.270 --> 00:47:09.095
when they're on mobile view now and they log in, one of the first things they're asked to do is to add content.

709
00:47:09.875 --> 00:47:12.615
They can always toggle their menu here,

710
00:47:13.475 --> 00:47:15.815
but for them to toggle their menu and then

711
00:47:16.435 --> 00:47:18.215
want to add an article,

712
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:21.060
that takes one, two, three clicks.

713
00:47:21.520 --> 00:47:27.619
So now she can add an article in just one click. So I'll just click on add audio file as an example.

714
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:30.980
And now she can add an audio file.

715
00:47:31.955 --> 00:47:35.015
So that's that's the update there, and that setting is

716
00:47:35.315 --> 00:47:37.975
when you're editing a membership level, additional settings,

717
00:47:38.435 --> 00:47:41.815
and it's this one here, show add content in dashboard.

718
00:47:41.875 --> 00:47:44.535
I I think everyone would wanna enable that to yes.

719
00:47:45.600 --> 00:47:46.900
Does that cover it, Pat?

720
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:53.380
That's awesome. Thank you, Jason. Okay. For sure. Yeah. That's a super update there.

721
00:47:55.520 --> 00:47:57.540
Alright. Let's pass it over to,

722
00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:59.540
the questions we have here.

723
00:48:00.225 --> 00:48:01.905
Got a lot of hands up now. Karen.

724
00:48:02.225 --> 00:48:03.925
Karen, I've unmuted your microphone.

725
00:48:05.425 --> 00:48:11.505
Thank you. How you doing, Karen? So I I'm awesome. How's everybody doing today? Good. Good. Thanks.

726
00:48:11.505 --> 00:48:12.805
Where are you calling in from?

727
00:48:14.369 --> 00:48:16.230
London, Ontario, Canada.

728
00:48:16.609 --> 00:48:19.109
Okay. Great. And what's your question for us today?

729
00:48:19.569 --> 00:48:22.309
So my question is, is it possible

730
00:48:22.690 --> 00:48:23.410
to have,

731
00:48:24.609 --> 00:48:28.309
a a like, a single purchase that doesn't include membership?

732
00:48:30.115 --> 00:48:34.135
Yes. So, like yeah. Because I it's still not working on my site,

733
00:48:34.435 --> 00:48:36.135
and I'm just curious

734
00:48:36.515 --> 00:48:41.155
if there's a way to do it that won't even have the word membership in it. Yeah.

735
00:48:41.155 --> 00:48:43.335
And what's your site? We can take a look at that.

736
00:48:43.730 --> 00:48:45.529
Janidagirlsnightout.com.

737
00:48:45.529 --> 00:48:49.270
Oh, okay. Yeah. You were at the webinar with us last time. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

738
00:48:49.490 --> 00:48:50.690
And it's still not working.

739
00:48:50.690 --> 00:48:55.910
It's just it's a JavaScript there when my people try to when they're members and they try to sign up for events.

740
00:48:56.369 --> 00:48:58.230
So I'm getting all these e transfers.

741
00:48:59.315 --> 00:49:03.895
So let's see here. We thought we'd fixed it. So I thought maybe I'm doing it wrong.

742
00:49:04.835 --> 00:49:06.615
Okay. Let's check it out.

743
00:49:08.115 --> 00:49:12.295
So which product is the one for the event? So these are

744
00:49:12.660 --> 00:49:15.559
all products. So ugly sweater, soiree tickets.

745
00:49:16.020 --> 00:49:23.559
So these are just $5 tickets people are paying for. And so and this one here, the Toronto GTA Ugly

746
00:49:23.859 --> 00:49:26.119
Sweater, Soiree Vendor sign up.

747
00:49:26.424 --> 00:49:26.924
Okay.

748
00:49:27.785 --> 00:49:31.805
They they haven't been able to do it, so I end up getting e transfers.

749
00:49:33.305 --> 00:49:38.424
I see. So let's see. So this one is $5 per year, the ugly sweater, or should that be a one time?

750
00:49:38.424 --> 00:49:43.680
It's it's a one time fee. So I didn't know how to change it from year to one time fee.

751
00:49:44.140 --> 00:49:46.640
So you would edit that, and you wanna go to pricing.

752
00:49:46.859 --> 00:49:51.200
You can just leave the yearly empty, and the one time, just set that to five.

753
00:49:51.819 --> 00:49:53.675
Okay. Okay. And then

754
00:49:54.455 --> 00:49:56.235
let's check out the page here.

755
00:49:56.695 --> 00:49:57.915
Is there everybody's

756
00:49:58.375 --> 00:49:59.975
having an issue with it. So

757
00:50:06.599 --> 00:50:08.940
And what's your payment gateway that you're using?

758
00:50:09.799 --> 00:50:13.339
Stripe. Sure. If they are yeah. If they already have a membership,

759
00:50:14.200 --> 00:50:18.940
right, and they go they start trying to purchase for events, it's giving them a JavaScript error.

760
00:50:19.275 --> 00:50:19.775
Mhmm.

761
00:50:20.234 --> 00:50:22.015
Okay. For that one,

762
00:50:23.035 --> 00:50:25.135
can you create a support ticket?

763
00:50:25.755 --> 00:50:30.095
Yes. They will. The the reason just explain to them what's happening. It should work.

764
00:50:30.635 --> 00:50:32.734
The reason is I'm not too familiar with

765
00:50:33.390 --> 00:50:42.849
why the JavaScript error would be coming from the gateway, but the support team Jason, I think I think the issue she's re referring to is the fact that if you're logged in as a member,

766
00:50:43.230 --> 00:50:50.195
she's trying to have them create another account, so to speak, except she's calling that account an event, but they're already logged in

767
00:50:50.575 --> 00:50:53.295
as a member. So that's that's not really what it's intended for.

768
00:50:53.295 --> 00:50:58.435
It's intended to sell to the public that wanna buy event tickets, not for logged in members

769
00:50:58.890 --> 00:51:02.010
that are trying to buy tickets because they already have the account.

770
00:51:02.010 --> 00:51:03.549
That's gonna that's gonna conflict

771
00:51:04.250 --> 00:51:06.170
in terms of That's part of it.

772
00:51:06.170 --> 00:51:11.309
But the other part of it is some of them are members and they're paying for they pay for table space.

773
00:51:12.025 --> 00:51:16.045
So let's say they're a member. They're doing the Uglies for a event in Toronto.

774
00:51:16.745 --> 00:51:21.545
It's $50 a table. So they go in to sign up for a table, but they're already members.

775
00:51:21.545 --> 00:51:23.485
It causes a conflict. Exactly.

776
00:51:23.545 --> 00:51:31.280
The the only thing you'd you'd what you'd wanna do at that point is they'd have to you'd have to manually bill them, I believe, in order to

777
00:51:31.980 --> 00:51:33.359
to make that work.

778
00:51:33.740 --> 00:51:34.800
So now be customizing.

779
00:51:35.420 --> 00:51:38.640
Do you believe that a logged in member should be able to purchase

780
00:51:39.315 --> 00:51:42.035
a product or is is that just for the best for security?

781
00:51:42.035 --> 00:51:45.234
That's what I want, a logged in member to be able to purchase a product.

782
00:51:45.234 --> 00:51:47.255
I think also I remember last time we

783
00:51:47.555 --> 00:51:50.915
removed the thing where if the email is already registered, it doesn't show an error.

784
00:51:50.915 --> 00:51:52.855
I think this setting needs to be enabled.

785
00:51:53.160 --> 00:51:55.579
Same email accounts in the advanced settings.

786
00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.299
Allow duplicate. Oh, okay. So that will allow duplicate emails to make purchases,

787
00:52:00.839 --> 00:52:02.940
multiple times through the checkout process.

788
00:52:04.200 --> 00:52:09.035
So that might have been it. Okay. That might have been in it. But it will but it will create

789
00:52:09.335 --> 00:52:15.115
another account for that member. So that that purchasing a product will create an account.

790
00:52:15.335 --> 00:52:18.555
So if you're trying to sell an existing member table space,

791
00:52:18.855 --> 00:52:30.030
I would recommend manually billing that member so that they can go log in and see their invoices and see all of their purchases rather than sending them to an external link to make the purchase.

792
00:52:30.089 --> 00:52:34.030
And that would essentially be creating a new user ID in the system.

793
00:52:34.569 --> 00:52:35.630
It does. You're right.

794
00:52:36.684 --> 00:52:41.805
That's why I didn't know if it was possible to like, give an example even though we don't do it.

795
00:52:41.805 --> 00:52:43.345
Let's say I sold the t shirt

796
00:52:43.885 --> 00:52:48.464
Uh-huh. But they're not getting a membership. Right? So we sold Canada girls night out t shirt.

797
00:52:48.605 --> 00:52:52.720
There's no way to be able to do this on this site right now. Now Is that correct?

798
00:52:52.720 --> 00:52:54.560
Pat, doesn't doesn't the,

799
00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:58.420
the customization experts have a shopping cart,

800
00:52:59.520 --> 00:53:00.980
plugin for brilliant directories?

801
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:05.545
Yes. Yes. I believe they have they have a few where you're able to do that.

802
00:53:05.545 --> 00:53:07.645
There's a couple of options that you have,

803
00:53:08.425 --> 00:53:12.585
in terms of that. You can just embed your own shopping cart. Right.

804
00:53:12.585 --> 00:53:16.205
That if it's your store and no one else is selling

805
00:53:16.505 --> 00:53:18.810
except for you to your members Right.

806
00:53:18.890 --> 00:53:23.930
You could just embed a shopping cart from any shopping cart software out there. Yeah.

807
00:53:23.930 --> 00:53:28.510
I've already purchased the Stripe shopping cart. I had to purchase it. Right? Mhmm. So,

808
00:53:29.130 --> 00:53:33.150
and it's sitting on my computer. But I didn't know if I would be able to do,

809
00:53:33.705 --> 00:53:35.165
like, implement Yeah.

810
00:53:35.225 --> 00:53:39.965
So the when when you're gonna wanna integrate with a shopping cart is when you want your members

811
00:53:40.665 --> 00:53:44.445
to add products to your store and you collect on their behalf.

812
00:53:44.825 --> 00:53:47.280
That's when you wanna integrate with a shopping cart.

813
00:53:47.600 --> 00:54:01.940
If you are the shopping cart, you are the store, and no one is selling except for you, it's a much simpler solution because you could just sign up for your own shopping cart, have the billing handled by them, the reporting by them, and embed a code on your website

814
00:54:02.355 --> 00:54:05.815
and take it to add it as a subdomain to your existing domain,

815
00:54:06.355 --> 00:54:08.835
launch it as a separate entity. Those are two different options.

816
00:54:08.835 --> 00:54:11.815
Just a So I can do so I can do that with customization

817
00:54:12.435 --> 00:54:12.935
by,

818
00:54:13.715 --> 00:54:16.775
you know, creating a ticket and paying for it. Correct?

819
00:54:17.210 --> 00:54:18.750
If I need help with it.

820
00:54:21.130 --> 00:54:22.670
Yes. Yeah. I would say yeah.

821
00:54:23.049 --> 00:54:24.349
Yeah. Because I don't wanna

822
00:54:24.650 --> 00:54:26.990
ruin anything, so I thought I better ask.

823
00:54:27.769 --> 00:54:30.109
Yeah. The best place to do that is in the marketplace.

824
00:54:32.025 --> 00:54:35.625
So you can go to marketplace.brilliantdirectories.com.

825
00:54:35.625 --> 00:54:37.645
And Right. You can actually here

826
00:54:38.025 --> 00:54:48.700
you can find developers, you can read reviews, and you can see you know, you can get quotes from people just maybe someone has done this on it for someone else and it might be really easy for them to execute it for you.

827
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:53.340
Okay. Gabriel doesn't do that then? Since I've hired him before.

828
00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:56.620
That would be for like general

829
00:54:57.234 --> 00:54:57.734
general

830
00:54:58.035 --> 00:55:02.595
General? Yeah. General things like configuring configuring things that are existing features.

831
00:55:02.595 --> 00:55:03.714
But if we're gonna Right.

832
00:55:03.714 --> 00:55:08.855
For creating a new, like, type of experience or functionality, that's when the marketplace would come in handy.

833
00:55:09.890 --> 00:55:12.230
Okay. Thank you so much. Alright. Thank you.

834
00:55:13.170 --> 00:55:17.350
Alright. Billing question there from Karen. Good stuff. Wish I had better answers, but sometimes

835
00:55:17.650 --> 00:55:18.790
it's not the case.

836
00:55:19.090 --> 00:55:21.430
Alright. Let's see who's got their hands up here.

837
00:55:22.005 --> 00:55:24.984
Alright. We got Blair. Blair, I've unmuted your microphone.

838
00:55:26.565 --> 00:55:28.904
Hey, Jason. How are you doing? Good. How are you?

839
00:55:29.845 --> 00:55:31.285
Doing great. Thank you. Awesome.

840
00:55:31.444 --> 00:55:37.224
I just saw I guess, Gabriel just let me know that the Facebook login is now available, and he gave me a link,

841
00:55:38.670 --> 00:55:40.609
to, an article you wrote,

842
00:55:41.310 --> 00:55:42.750
about setting up a,

843
00:55:43.230 --> 00:55:45.790
developer account on Facebook to have this,

844
00:55:47.150 --> 00:55:47.650
initiated.

845
00:55:47.950 --> 00:55:51.330
Is that something you wanna walk us through? Do you think it'd be beneficial?

846
00:55:53.165 --> 00:55:56.224
I haven't done it myself to set up the account.

847
00:55:56.765 --> 00:55:59.724
Let me look at the steps for you. So, yeah, that's that's a good point.

848
00:55:59.964 --> 00:56:02.464
Let me let me show everyone what you're referring to.

849
00:56:03.165 --> 00:56:04.865
A new add on that was released,

850
00:56:05.244 --> 00:56:06.545
oh, it's highly anticipated,

851
00:56:07.530 --> 00:56:08.030
was

852
00:56:08.890 --> 00:56:10.510
the social login.

853
00:56:11.370 --> 00:56:17.550
And this allows people to register and log in using their Facebook or Google account.

854
00:56:18.410 --> 00:56:20.110
But for this to work,

855
00:56:21.130 --> 00:56:22.190
it does require

856
00:56:22.875 --> 00:56:26.635
two a couple things. One is an SSL certificate on your site.

857
00:56:26.795 --> 00:56:29.115
If you're part of the VIP add ons club, you have one.

858
00:56:29.115 --> 00:56:32.495
But Google and Facebook do require the site to be secure,

859
00:56:32.875 --> 00:56:34.975
so you do need to have an SSL certificate.

860
00:56:35.300 --> 00:56:39.240
And then you have to just register a Google and Facebook account,

861
00:56:39.540 --> 00:56:41.800
so that you're basically making

862
00:56:42.260 --> 00:56:46.119
a developer account and letting them know that you're gonna be using this on your specific

863
00:56:46.500 --> 00:56:47.235
domain name.

864
00:56:47.715 --> 00:56:51.415
So we do if you go to the add ons page there are links here

865
00:56:51.715 --> 00:56:52.935
where you can learn more.

866
00:56:53.315 --> 00:56:57.475
And what Blair was referring to is to walk you through this process.

867
00:56:57.475 --> 00:57:00.090
We're actually thinking about creating a video for this.

868
00:57:00.570 --> 00:57:06.750
It looks a little complicated, but if you follow it step by step, you should be it should be smooth sailing for you.

869
00:57:07.210 --> 00:57:11.550
So you're seeing all sorts of settings to enable and where to copy and paste things.

870
00:57:12.090 --> 00:57:16.425
It's just a one time thing that Facebook and Google require you to do.

871
00:57:17.845 --> 00:57:20.565
Probably takes about, I'd say ten minutes to set this up.

872
00:57:20.565 --> 00:57:22.665
And then this is where it says enter your domain

873
00:57:23.045 --> 00:57:25.045
here, towards the final steps.

874
00:57:25.045 --> 00:57:30.850
So the reason there's so many steps is we really went step by step, so anyone can follow along with it.

875
00:57:30.850 --> 00:57:34.390
But if you do it in real time, it should just take a few minutes to complete this.

876
00:57:36.370 --> 00:57:38.130
Okay. Perfect. Yeah. And I was just,

877
00:57:38.610 --> 00:57:43.704
wondering about the Google, but I saw that we need to do that, there too. So that's perfect. Yeah.

878
00:57:43.704 --> 00:57:51.005
It's just one hurdle they put in place, to make sure that everything is authenticated and secured properly because they're gonna be handling the

879
00:57:51.464 --> 00:57:54.924
talking because Facebook and Google are gonna be basically talking to your website.

880
00:57:55.704 --> 00:57:59.710
Everything needs to be, that the handshake needs to be secure between the two platforms.

881
00:58:00.650 --> 00:58:03.470
Got it. Okay. Great. Thank you. If I have any issues, just,

882
00:58:04.570 --> 00:58:08.090
go to support. But Yeah. The the support team will be happy to help you.

883
00:58:08.090 --> 00:58:11.790
This especially because it's a new, it's a new add on. We wanna see if there's any,

884
00:58:12.984 --> 00:58:14.265
any hurdles that we need to,

885
00:58:14.905 --> 00:58:16.445
or hiccups that we need to fix.

886
00:58:17.145 --> 00:58:20.125
Okay. Sounds great. Thanks, Jason. Sure thing. Thanks, Blair.

887
00:58:21.065 --> 00:58:23.484
Alright. Good question there about an add on.

888
00:58:24.819 --> 00:58:25.640
Alright. Kathy.

889
00:58:26.020 --> 00:58:27.640
Kathy, I've unmuted your microphone.

890
00:58:28.180 --> 00:58:29.880
Hey, guys. I have

891
00:58:30.500 --> 00:58:34.359
it might it might be a simple question, and it might be more complex.

892
00:58:35.140 --> 00:58:37.240
So I don't know. You have to tell me.

893
00:58:37.944 --> 00:58:41.885
What I'm trying to do is see if there's a way that I can just redirect

894
00:58:42.665 --> 00:58:46.605
after the sign up page that they go to another URL.

895
00:58:48.025 --> 00:58:49.484
What's the name of your site?

896
00:58:50.425 --> 00:58:51.964
You can do it on this one.

897
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:57.180
It's the eliteweddingguide.com.

898
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:01.099
Okay. Let's check it out. They're all they're all the same.

899
00:59:02.680 --> 00:59:06.299
There are there are some ways to accomplish that.

900
00:59:07.715 --> 00:59:08.215
Alright.

901
00:59:08.755 --> 00:59:12.695
So let's go to your let me look at your products first. Manage products.

902
00:59:14.675 --> 00:59:18.695
And so which one is the one that, you'd like to redirect people?

903
00:59:18.755 --> 00:59:22.380
Which one is the one people are signing up to, and then you would like them to be redirected?

904
00:59:23.099 --> 00:59:26.079
It's the it's the one that just says member. Okay.

905
00:59:26.380 --> 00:59:29.519
Let's go to the sign up page here. Those other ones aren't published.

906
00:59:29.819 --> 00:59:33.359
And what's the page you would like people to go to after that?

907
00:59:34.859 --> 00:59:38.734
It's actually a specific URL, but I I can give you this.

908
00:59:39.115 --> 00:59:42.015
Okay. Is it in the in the welcome email that they get?

909
00:59:43.115 --> 00:59:45.435
No. I haven't updated it yet. I'm using,

910
00:59:45.835 --> 00:59:46.335
Kajabi.

911
00:59:47.115 --> 00:59:47.615
Okay.

912
00:59:48.010 --> 00:59:53.070
I don't know if you're familiar with that, but it's really Kajabi is fantastic for if you have courses,

913
00:59:54.250 --> 00:59:59.470
if if you're promoting courses. So what you can do here is let me edit your member level.

914
01:00:03.414 --> 01:00:03.974
There is,

915
01:00:05.095 --> 01:00:06.875
redirect page after login.

916
01:00:07.575 --> 01:00:09.515
Oh, I knew it was like simple.

917
01:00:10.295 --> 01:00:12.714
I was like, it's either there or it's not.

918
01:00:13.255 --> 01:00:15.335
So you can you can go to

919
01:00:17.140 --> 01:00:22.840
here let me just put it, like the brilliant director just as a test. Let's put the full URL in here.

920
01:00:24.420 --> 01:00:27.480
Well, I mean, I've got the URL that Okay.

921
01:00:27.780 --> 01:00:31.970
Well, I'll just I'll just we will we'll revert it. Yeah. We'll just a test. I gotcha.

922
01:00:32.075 --> 01:00:34.395
So let's let's just save that and see if that works.

923
01:00:34.395 --> 01:00:38.015
If this doesn't work, there is there are Well other things that you can do also.

924
01:00:39.275 --> 01:00:41.775
Except for that one's a paid member, but

925
01:00:43.275 --> 01:00:44.175
This one is?

926
01:00:44.555 --> 01:00:45.055
Oh.

927
01:00:45.460 --> 01:00:45.960
Yeah.

928
01:00:46.740 --> 01:00:52.200
Can I temporarily just set it to free for just a moment? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Set it to a free member.

929
01:00:53.140 --> 01:00:56.120
And then let me go to the sign up page.

930
01:00:59.220 --> 01:00:59.720
Okay.

931
01:01:01.985 --> 01:01:02.485
And

932
01:01:02.865 --> 01:01:03.765
let's register

933
01:01:05.025 --> 01:01:05.525
events

934
01:01:05.825 --> 01:01:06.325
at

935
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:28.500
Okay. I see what's

936
01:01:29.035 --> 01:01:31.215
happening. If you look at the URL down there

937
01:01:31.995 --> 01:01:36.235
in the bottom left of my screen, I don't know how clear it is. I see it. Yeah.

938
01:01:36.235 --> 01:01:40.735
It is there's a small modification that needs to be made, but it it can work.

939
01:01:41.240 --> 01:01:43.579
This is gonna take us to Elite wedding guide. But,

940
01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:45.900
it's attempting to take us to,

941
01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:49.579
brilliant directories. So what you can do

942
01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:50.940
is

943
01:01:51.640 --> 01:01:54.920
let me help you with that. Well, it's like we want them to set up their,

944
01:01:56.205 --> 01:02:00.625
we want them to set up their profile. So I get it. It was just an option

945
01:02:01.245 --> 01:02:01.745
because

946
01:02:02.205 --> 01:02:05.825
a lot of people will sign up that maybe aren't as technical.

947
01:02:06.685 --> 01:02:09.885
And when they go to sign up, they don't really know what they're doing.

948
01:02:09.885 --> 01:02:14.619
So we have, like, a real quick set up your profile training. You know what I mean?

949
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:16.859
So what's But then there's a lot of people

950
01:02:17.160 --> 01:02:21.099
that will go in and do exactly fill out their training. Does that make sense?

951
01:02:21.720 --> 01:02:24.440
What what you can do is you could,

952
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:26.460
let me get rid of this here.

953
01:02:26.805 --> 01:02:29.385
You could just bring people into the dashboard here,

954
01:02:30.005 --> 01:02:34.665
and you can say, like, need help need help setting up your profile and

955
01:02:35.045 --> 01:02:36.585
and link them to

956
01:02:37.605 --> 01:02:38.505
the Kajabi

957
01:02:39.925 --> 01:02:40.425
courses.

958
01:02:41.890 --> 01:02:43.190
Like, you're saying

959
01:02:43.730 --> 01:02:45.590
add a button to the dashboard?

960
01:02:46.369 --> 01:02:50.390
Exactly. Add a button to the dashboard where it says need help

961
01:02:50.930 --> 01:02:51.670
need help

962
01:02:52.530 --> 01:02:53.170
doing your,

963
01:02:53.650 --> 01:02:54.790
finishing your profile.

964
01:02:55.885 --> 01:03:00.385
Okay. Where would you go to edit the dashboard? Maybe that'll be a good question. Okay.

965
01:03:02.365 --> 01:03:05.345
So what you can do is we'll use the show widgets again,

966
01:03:06.205 --> 01:03:06.705
and

967
01:03:07.165 --> 01:03:08.945
member dashboard is here.

968
01:03:09.849 --> 01:03:11.710
And we'll customize this one.

969
01:03:12.410 --> 01:03:14.670
Let me revert your membership level also

970
01:03:16.010 --> 01:03:17.630
back to what it was paid.

971
01:03:18.730 --> 01:03:20.750
And also, let me get rid of the redirect.

972
01:03:24.385 --> 01:03:24.885
And

973
01:03:26.305 --> 01:03:28.244
I'm gonna make it really clear where

974
01:03:28.865 --> 01:03:29.665
you can put,

975
01:03:31.105 --> 01:03:32.165
a button here.

976
01:03:33.025 --> 01:03:38.890
So this is the your listing is, and then let me make it really clear where this would go for you.

977
01:03:41.190 --> 01:03:44.569
And let me just put some text here as it start.

978
01:03:56.475 --> 01:03:57.615
And just a moment.

979
01:04:04.730 --> 01:04:07.150
And that was the member dashboard widget?

980
01:04:07.930 --> 01:04:11.710
Yes. I'll I'll show you one more time after I Yep. Save this here.

981
01:04:13.529 --> 01:04:16.190
I did not know we could customize that. That's awesome.

982
01:04:16.650 --> 01:04:18.670
Yeah. I've seen a lot of people kind of

983
01:04:19.795 --> 01:04:21.315
totally redesign the dashboard.

984
01:04:21.315 --> 01:04:28.855
They they even get rid of this stuff and put their own modules and and links based on the membership level or other products they're trying to promote as well.

985
01:04:29.075 --> 01:04:32.295
Let's Yeah. That's really cool. Let me refresh the cache here,

986
01:04:33.520 --> 01:04:35.460
and let's see if we get a button here.

987
01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:39.680
Just a moment. And I'm gonna add one more thing.

988
01:04:39.680 --> 01:04:43.540
So the name of the widget is Bootstrap theme account member dashboard,

989
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:46.720
and you can do a control f here.

990
01:04:46.720 --> 01:04:51.634
Just search for the word need, and it'll bring you to where I wrote need help completing this profile.

991
01:04:52.015 --> 01:04:53.875
And I'll add an HR here.

992
01:04:56.174 --> 01:05:01.474
Alright. Let's go. So that's really cool that we can do that, customize the dashboard. That's fun.

993
01:05:02.990 --> 01:05:09.089
Yeah. It's it is it is really nice. I need to add I was gonna tell you on that Facebook, Google

994
01:05:09.869 --> 01:05:10.849
setup process,

995
01:05:12.829 --> 01:05:17.490
I had a blast. I mean, that it was setting up setting it up was really, really easy.

996
01:05:17.845 --> 01:05:18.345
Okay.

997
01:05:18.765 --> 01:05:19.265
So

998
01:05:19.685 --> 01:05:23.465
here Yeah. Once we figured out and if this will help anybody out,

999
01:05:23.845 --> 01:05:29.385
is that if you already have an existing member that has a Facebook and a Google

1000
01:05:29.845 --> 01:05:32.985
or they're wanting to log in using their Facebook and Google,

1001
01:05:33.740 --> 01:05:37.839
they have to log in first with their old login and password

1002
01:05:38.299 --> 01:05:39.839
and then connect it.

1003
01:05:40.380 --> 01:05:43.040
So if I could give anybody a tip on that.

1004
01:05:43.740 --> 01:05:48.319
So what are you saying exactly? It went someone setting Scroll down scroll down that dashboard.

1005
01:05:48.700 --> 01:05:49.200
Okay.

1006
01:05:49.565 --> 01:05:53.825
Now you're logged in as a member. Yes. Okay. So if they're an older member

1007
01:05:54.525 --> 01:05:56.605
and it took a while for us to figure this out.

1008
01:05:56.605 --> 01:06:02.445
If they're an older member and they're trying to log in with their Facebook and Google right away It won't work.

1009
01:06:02.525 --> 01:06:04.145
They're not it won't work.

1010
01:06:04.490 --> 01:06:17.950
And, you know, if if everybody follows the instructions and it doesn't work, the reason why is because the member has to log in with their original login and password and then select which one of those they wanna log in with.

1011
01:06:18.125 --> 01:06:18.285
Right.

1012
01:06:18.285 --> 01:06:27.724
If you're an existing member, first you need to log in, sync the Facebook account, so it knows what Facebook login to associate to your membership level, and then you'll be able to do that moving forward.

1013
01:06:27.724 --> 01:06:31.345
For new members, it won't be a problem. They'll just be Yeah. New members.

1014
01:06:31.770 --> 01:06:33.370
Yeah. Absolutely. No problem.

1015
01:06:33.370 --> 01:06:38.410
But we had a a lot of other members that were trying to log in that way, and we figured out what was wrong.

1016
01:06:38.410 --> 01:06:38.910
So

1017
01:06:39.210 --> 01:06:39.710
just

1018
01:06:41.370 --> 01:06:44.905
if that helps anybody. No. That's good to know. I can I can see it?

1019
01:06:44.905 --> 01:06:48.045
Maybe put a message there while it's new, as well,

1020
01:06:49.065 --> 01:06:52.424
to kind of let people know that this is a new feature of the site.

1021
01:06:52.424 --> 01:06:55.484
So you have this button here now, need help completing your profile,

1022
01:06:57.700 --> 01:07:00.040
Or let me do something better, and then,

1023
01:07:00.580 --> 01:07:02.280
you can you can put the URL,

1024
01:07:03.060 --> 01:07:03.880
get help

1025
01:07:05.300 --> 01:07:09.000
get help completing your profile. And then I'll do this.

1026
01:07:10.820 --> 01:07:11.320
Perfect.

1027
01:07:11.835 --> 01:07:14.734
So you'll have this button here on the dashboard,

1028
01:07:15.115 --> 01:07:17.935
and I don't I don't think there's any harm keeping this here.

1029
01:07:18.795 --> 01:07:21.695
No. I can fix it. I mean, it's that's cool.

1030
01:07:21.755 --> 01:07:27.619
So it's on line two seventy nine of the widget bootstrap theme, and you just put, it's gonna say enter

1031
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:29.540
full URL

1032
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:32.740
here. And I'm also gonna make it open in a new tab,

1033
01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:33.780
so,

1034
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:36.579
people are not taken away from your site.

1035
01:07:38.160 --> 01:07:40.260
That's great. You should be good to go.

1036
01:07:40.925 --> 01:07:42.605
Yeah. That's just gonna stop.

1037
01:07:42.605 --> 01:07:51.725
I mean, we always do a welcome call when they sign up and show them where everything is, but I was like, then I get some people that'll just go in, set up their profile, they're done.

1038
01:07:51.725 --> 01:07:54.465
You know what I mean? They'll say this was the easiest thing,

1039
01:07:54.789 --> 01:07:58.490
and then we wanna get them going on the courses because that's our upsell.

1040
01:07:58.869 --> 01:08:00.250
You know? Right.

1041
01:08:00.950 --> 01:08:02.890
But oh, no. That that's cool.

1042
01:08:04.069 --> 01:08:08.170
Perfect. And so this is your registration page here? You're showing Yeah.

1043
01:08:08.545 --> 01:08:08.865
Yeah.

1044
01:08:08.865 --> 01:08:16.225
I'm actually gonna kinda take a take away that part top part and put your joint, the one you showed us today there.

1045
01:08:16.225 --> 01:08:17.665
Gotcha. Okay. Great.

1046
01:08:17.665 --> 01:08:22.005
Well, yeah, it sounds like you're calling your members when they sign up, so that's that's that's really good.

1047
01:08:22.530 --> 01:08:27.750
Oh, yeah. It's too complicated not to because we've got so many guides and it's a membership.

1048
01:08:28.050 --> 01:08:33.910
So Okay. No. It's and and I do recommend it. I mean, I have two girls and

1049
01:08:34.370 --> 01:08:38.885
what happens is when the member signs up, you know, we tell them in the email, hey.

1050
01:08:38.885 --> 01:08:43.284
You're gonna get a welcome call. This isn't a sales call. We're not trying to do anything crazy.

1051
01:08:43.284 --> 01:08:45.224
We just wanna make sure you know how to access

1052
01:08:46.324 --> 01:08:48.585
your member tools, you know.

1053
01:08:48.885 --> 01:08:53.540
And because we do a lot for our members when they sign up, and it can get a little confusing.

1054
01:08:53.599 --> 01:08:54.979
But even if it's not,

1055
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:59.619
once they sign up, it's like boom. They're done. Awesome.

1056
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:05.139
Alright. Well, you got the button there. You can put the link, and you should be good to go.

1057
01:09:06.085 --> 01:09:10.665
Nope. That's cool. My logo looks funny on your site. Is it does it look fuzzy?

1058
01:09:11.444 --> 01:09:13.865
It looks okay to me. It's probably because of the

1059
01:09:14.245 --> 01:09:19.650
the webinar. The video. Yeah. The quality. Okay. No. I'm just like, wait a second. Okay. No.

1060
01:09:19.650 --> 01:09:23.750
That was my question. That was it. I appreciate your help. For sure. Thanks, Kathy.

1061
01:09:24.770 --> 01:09:27.189
Alright. Great question there from Kathy. Happy to help.

1062
01:09:27.650 --> 01:09:30.950
Looks like we're diving into the code here in the webinar. That's okay.

1063
01:09:32.565 --> 01:09:35.145
Alright. We got another hand raised. Jacques.

1064
01:09:35.445 --> 01:09:36.165
How you doing?

1065
01:09:36.165 --> 01:09:43.525
And Jason, just just for you to know Jason, it's, near the hour and a half mark, so we maybe we'll make up Jacques the the last question of the webinar.

1066
01:09:43.525 --> 01:09:46.025
Okay. Great. Great. Jacques, where are you calling in from?

1067
01:09:47.340 --> 01:09:51.439
North Carolina, guys. How are you doing? Okay. Good. Good. How can we help you today?

1068
01:09:52.859 --> 01:09:55.040
Right. Just a couple of quick things.

1069
01:09:55.580 --> 01:09:59.280
The first of all is on my Go Adventure Outdoor site.

1070
01:10:00.295 --> 01:10:02.615
It's probably something very simple that I've missed.

1071
01:10:02.615 --> 01:10:05.195
It's trying to put in the products a buy button,

1072
01:10:06.055 --> 01:10:08.315
of some description so that when people

1073
01:10:08.775 --> 01:10:13.835
when they get a product we added one product in last night from a friend of mine who's playing with the system,

1074
01:10:14.350 --> 01:10:18.690
and I couldn't I couldn't remember for the life of me how to do it.

1075
01:10:19.150 --> 01:10:21.410
Alright. Let's check it out. We could do that together.

1076
01:10:21.949 --> 01:10:23.710
So I'm just gonna see your,

1077
01:10:24.350 --> 01:10:26.510
manage posts and see,

1078
01:10:27.155 --> 01:10:29.335
the products, if you have any. You have three products.

1079
01:10:29.875 --> 01:10:36.855
I really like this area because it lets it's like your control center for all the content your members have uploaded or yourself, so it's really cool.

1080
01:10:37.315 --> 01:10:40.900
So let's take a look at one of the products here. We'll go to the live page.

1081
01:10:40.980 --> 01:10:45.400
The one when they were playing the last night was the the one with the picture frame.

1082
01:10:45.940 --> 01:10:47.880
Alright. Let's look at the live page.

1083
01:10:50.340 --> 01:10:51.080
I see.

1084
01:10:53.220 --> 01:10:53.720
Okay.

1085
01:10:54.215 --> 01:10:59.014
So I think, the sidebar is what you've changed, and let me help you, with that.

1086
01:10:59.014 --> 01:11:00.155
Just give me a moment.

1087
01:11:01.574 --> 01:11:05.434
I know it was something stupid. I just couldn't remember for the life of me how to do it.

1088
01:11:05.815 --> 01:11:08.800
So with what's really cool with this is

1089
01:11:09.500 --> 01:11:14.300
for each type of content, you can have a different sidebar of your of your choice.

1090
01:11:14.619 --> 01:11:19.920
So let me go to Yeah. Prop product here and see what's currently defined as the sidebar.

1091
01:11:21.804 --> 01:11:27.165
So you go to the detail page because that's the specific post page. Yeah. Scroll down.

1092
01:11:27.165 --> 01:11:29.585
Oh, I know where the post single sidebar.

1093
01:11:30.364 --> 01:11:30.764
Okay.

1094
01:11:30.764 --> 01:11:36.465
So you are using the one that we are recommending, but it looks like you've changed the elements that are in there,

1095
01:11:36.829 --> 01:11:41.250
and, you're losing some of the information about the product that would show on the right hand side.

1096
01:11:41.389 --> 01:11:44.289
So let me go to the post single page,

1097
01:11:46.750 --> 01:11:47.250
and

1098
01:11:49.825 --> 01:11:54.005
yes. So what we want to put is, let me just search for it.

1099
01:11:54.625 --> 01:11:56.645
Post meta details is the one,

1100
01:11:57.105 --> 01:11:58.885
and let me just save those changes.

1101
01:11:59.105 --> 01:12:02.850
You can I'm just gonna add that one rather than removing the ones you've added there.

1102
01:12:02.850 --> 01:12:06.770
You can decide to add it. Yeah. No. No. That's fine. The post yes. Fine. That's exact.

1103
01:12:06.770 --> 01:12:10.390
I just couldn't remember what it was. And I was searching searching for buy button,

1104
01:12:11.090 --> 01:12:15.945
CTA button, and I just couldn't remember it. Gotcha. So what's really There we go. There you go.

1105
01:12:15.945 --> 01:12:18.344
So now we have this here which which has the category.

1106
01:12:18.344 --> 01:12:24.925
What's really good is if if you've kind of changed something on your site, you can always go to the demo bootstrap site.

1107
01:12:25.625 --> 01:12:26.125
And

1108
01:12:26.744 --> 01:12:31.340
what you can do is exactly the steps I used to figure out what was missing.

1109
01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:38.600
You can log in to the admin panel of the demo site and and go see what we have on the demo site, and then make sure Right.

1110
01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:40.219
And then log out of the admin

1111
01:12:40.520 --> 01:12:44.955
the demo and log back into your site, and you can kind of revert things.

1112
01:12:45.735 --> 01:12:46.935
So yeah, this would be here.

1113
01:12:46.935 --> 01:12:51.255
And then if you wanted to add a buy button, let me just finish the step for you here.

1114
01:12:51.255 --> 01:12:52.955
Let's go back to manage posts,

1115
01:12:54.535 --> 01:12:55.035
products.

1116
01:12:55.735 --> 01:12:57.435
Let me edit this post.

1117
01:12:58.810 --> 01:13:02.430
What's really cool is, so you have this information in the side here,

1118
01:13:03.530 --> 01:13:10.750
and with the products, you can add an external link, product link. So I'll just link to,

1119
01:13:11.945 --> 01:13:16.345
I'll link to your I'll link to the church demo just for the example, and then I'll I'll remove it.

1120
01:13:16.345 --> 01:13:20.605
So you can Gotcha. Maybe this is a buy link to where you can actually Yeah. Put the product.

1121
01:13:20.745 --> 01:13:22.205
And if you save the changes,

1122
01:13:25.385 --> 01:13:27.565
and and then if we refresh this

1123
01:13:27.900 --> 01:13:32.240
page, we should see an additional button here. It says like more details.

1124
01:13:32.540 --> 01:13:36.640
You can change the text to say purchase now, and it will take you to a checkout page.

1125
01:13:37.900 --> 01:13:40.000
So there you go. Now it's there for you.

1126
01:13:40.565 --> 01:13:49.525
The the only other quick thing that I wanted to to look at, because I've I've got a bit of customization going on with this actual site underneath the properties, and I've got some different things happening.

1127
01:13:49.525 --> 01:13:55.545
But one of the things that I wanted to do, and I don't know if this is maybe an idea for

1128
01:13:58.070 --> 01:14:05.849
an add on that you can bring in, is I think it would be beneficial for everybody to have some form of feature where we can have subcategories

1129
01:14:06.949 --> 01:14:09.050
of features shown. So for instance,

1130
01:14:09.515 --> 01:14:20.175
if I have a number of video tutorials or we have videos up, like this site could have a number of videos, and I would like to show on the video page, maybe even if it's a text link of,

1131
01:14:21.275 --> 01:14:24.335
let's say, river rafting videos, hiking videos,

1132
01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:29.780
so that they don't have to just keep scrolling down a list, they can just go to that particular section.

1133
01:14:31.040 --> 01:14:36.100
I'm with you. So no. You're right. So currently, on the features, it does support one category.

1134
01:14:37.695 --> 01:14:39.315
What what you can do,

1135
01:14:39.855 --> 01:14:41.475
which is a small work around,

1136
01:14:41.935 --> 01:14:44.355
is you can add keyword tags

1137
01:14:44.655 --> 01:14:47.475
to your so let's go to your videos for example,

1138
01:14:48.015 --> 01:14:48.655
and let's

1139
01:14:49.470 --> 01:14:51.570
this is a what is this? Gau adventure?

1140
01:14:53.070 --> 01:14:55.250
Gau Yeah. How do you pronounce that?

1141
01:14:56.270 --> 01:15:00.050
Or is that just an acronym? What what makes an outdoors investigator?

1142
01:15:01.150 --> 01:15:01.650
Okay.

1143
01:15:03.145 --> 01:15:05.645
So you could Yeah. I see you have the tags here.

1144
01:15:06.985 --> 01:15:13.324
And what you can do is you can show them on the search results page, and you and then they could be searchable by the keyword.

1145
01:15:14.025 --> 01:15:15.885
But I see what you're saying about the

1146
01:15:17.580 --> 01:15:22.160
the subject. Yeah. Because I think as as our site start to expand, I mean,

1147
01:15:23.180 --> 01:15:32.320
it's gonna be more beneficial even even to do with the blog, and it's also gonna reduce bounce rates because people sometimes just don't wanna scroll down

1148
01:15:32.655 --> 01:15:36.275
tons of articles and tons of different videos and things. If they've got a section

1149
01:15:36.735 --> 01:15:38.195
where they can actually go

1150
01:15:38.575 --> 01:15:43.075
and they can say, right, I wanna learn about river raft and I wanna learn about fishing.

1151
01:15:43.215 --> 01:15:45.555
I wanna see the videos that are done on hiking.

1152
01:15:45.800 --> 01:15:49.900
They could just go to that category and watch them, and I think that's gonna be more beneficial for everybody.

1153
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:56.380
But are you saying but you you don't you're not doing that already with the category system that already exists for videos?

1154
01:15:56.680 --> 01:15:59.500
What is your current category structure? Can I see that, Jason?

1155
01:15:59.845 --> 01:16:00.805
Current structure? I'm just

1156
01:16:01.365 --> 01:16:02.425
It's coming up.

1157
01:16:04.245 --> 01:16:07.945
So you're saying that the so you want people to be able to search by help? Yeah.

1158
01:16:08.005 --> 01:16:12.860
I want it see, sometimes I find that people are not actually going to that that there.

1159
01:16:12.920 --> 01:16:16.060
I would like to put something you see where it says video tutorials?

1160
01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:22.120
The actual the h one, the h three tag, or whatever it is. Underneath that, if there was a

1161
01:16:23.159 --> 01:16:30.185
like like you have on the dashboard, you have on the add content, something like that for each category that we could use

1162
01:16:30.725 --> 01:16:34.805
would be much better than the sidebar because a lot of people are not using the sidebar.

1163
01:16:34.805 --> 01:16:40.165
I find and and this is not the only site I've got for you guys as you know. I I I got a few. But,

1164
01:16:42.449 --> 01:16:45.349
for me, the like, adding the add content section,

1165
01:16:46.610 --> 01:16:51.510
like, the dashboard for each category, whether it be your blogs or whether it be your videos

1166
01:16:52.210 --> 01:16:54.309
or something else, part of the content,

1167
01:16:54.665 --> 01:16:59.465
it's just very visual that's in your face, and that person is gonna be drawn to it straight away.

1168
01:16:59.465 --> 01:17:03.405
They they they're gonna go to that straight away. I don't think a lot of people and I'm finding

1169
01:17:03.864 --> 01:17:09.725
that even on my other sites, they're not utilizing that sidebar category or searching for any particular category.

1170
01:17:11.040 --> 01:17:14.340
I hear you. Let me show you one quick thing that you can do.

1171
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:18.100
So you see this link here is adventure

1172
01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:20.260
in your Yeah. K.

1173
01:17:21.440 --> 01:17:24.420
Here's one one work around you could do.

1174
01:17:25.835 --> 01:17:28.094
Let me go to the edit post settings.

1175
01:17:29.195 --> 01:17:29.695
Mhmm.

1176
01:17:30.074 --> 01:17:31.295
Search result layout.

1177
01:17:33.514 --> 01:17:37.455
This is exactly the work what I was gonna say that most people do to accomplish, especially

1178
01:17:37.930 --> 01:17:41.390
people also do this for tags. But, yeah, this would be a great,

1179
01:17:41.850 --> 01:17:43.230
workaround for these categories

1180
01:17:43.770 --> 01:17:48.330
to make easy clickable buttons always appear at the top. So let's see. So Alright. Okay.

1181
01:17:48.330 --> 01:17:52.350
Browser is good. It's actually pretty cool to show everyone. So I'm going to I'm in the video,

1182
01:17:52.655 --> 01:17:54.755
and I'm gonna search results design.

1183
01:17:55.455 --> 01:17:58.735
And Yeah. You can do is, here's the page header.

1184
01:17:58.735 --> 01:18:03.075
So this is before every all the search results are are looping around. Yeah. Yep.

1185
01:18:03.455 --> 01:18:04.975
What we can do is

1186
01:18:05.870 --> 01:18:06.690
give me a second here.

1187
01:18:11.390 --> 01:18:11.890
Okay.

1188
01:18:12.830 --> 01:18:15.490
And what I'm gonna do is this for you.

1189
01:18:23.365 --> 01:18:24.825
Oh, I see. You're gonna alright.

1190
01:18:29.845 --> 01:18:33.230
I spell that right? Adventure. And then I'm gonna do as a

1191
01:18:34.730 --> 01:18:37.710
I will do a small button, and we'll do button

1192
01:18:38.170 --> 01:18:41.150
success. I will do button primary. It's just the coloring.

1193
01:18:43.290 --> 01:18:43.790
Alright.

1194
01:18:45.025 --> 01:18:45.765
Let me

1195
01:18:46.065 --> 01:18:48.625
do two of these and just Yeah. That's fine.

1196
01:18:48.625 --> 01:18:53.585
So and then any other ones that I had, they would just Yeah. I didn't change details. Cool.

1197
01:18:53.585 --> 01:18:57.045
I'll do it easy for you so you can know what to change. So it's popular categories.

1198
01:18:57.425 --> 01:18:59.205
And let me do, span

1199
01:18:59.989 --> 01:19:00.890
class equals,

1200
01:19:01.670 --> 01:19:03.530
we'll do h four

1201
01:19:04.150 --> 01:19:06.170
just to give a little styling to that.

1202
01:19:17.585 --> 01:19:20.085
K. Alright. Just are your fingers are crossed?

1203
01:19:20.864 --> 01:19:25.364
My fingers are crossed. Okay. Good. Alright. That's okay. I'm late. Welcome in to tell you.

1204
01:19:25.665 --> 01:19:28.165
So what that's gonna do is it should add

1205
01:19:28.699 --> 01:19:32.159
links above the search results that say, for example, adventure.

1206
01:19:33.500 --> 01:19:35.760
Let's see here. Let me save this again,

1207
01:19:39.260 --> 01:19:41.280
and let me refresh the page again.

1208
01:19:47.715 --> 01:19:49.074
Well, that's weird. It's not

1209
01:19:49.795 --> 01:19:53.735
oh, video tutorials. I'm in the wrong section. Let me just copy this here.

1210
01:19:54.594 --> 01:19:56.775
Is this the right section? Should be.

1211
01:19:57.210 --> 01:20:02.650
Video no. I'm in the wrong section. I'm editing the wrong post. I'm doing forward slash videos.

1212
01:20:02.650 --> 01:20:07.710
You have video tutorials. So let me update that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's okay. Small hiccup.

1213
01:20:08.810 --> 01:20:09.870
Let's search for

1214
01:20:10.815 --> 01:20:13.315
video tutorials here, and I'll do the same thing.

1215
01:20:15.615 --> 01:20:16.835
Search results design,

1216
01:20:17.695 --> 01:20:18.515
page header,

1217
01:20:21.215 --> 01:20:22.115
paste that.

1218
01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:32.840
So you see, I did a search, and then when I did a search, I was able to kind of extrapolate what the URL would be for that search.

1219
01:20:32.840 --> 01:20:36.700
And this q equals adventure, that's the the keyword equals adventure.

1220
01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:40.925
So you can do that with lots of different things. So if we Right. So

1221
01:20:41.945 --> 01:20:43.465
we can do it now. Let me add,

1222
01:20:43.945 --> 01:20:46.045
just make it a little nicer here

1223
01:20:50.105 --> 01:20:51.405
and save that.

1224
01:20:54.510 --> 01:20:57.330
And now it should look a little, nicer here.

1225
01:20:58.510 --> 01:21:03.250
Perhaps you can share that code with everyone in the chat. Yeah. That's absolutely awesome, guys.

1226
01:21:03.710 --> 01:21:08.610
Okay. So popular Can you also share the code with the button on the the dashboard? That was class.

1227
01:21:10.095 --> 01:21:10.595
Okay.

1228
01:21:11.615 --> 01:21:12.835
Let's see if I'll just

1229
01:21:14.815 --> 01:21:16.275
copy this code here.

1230
01:21:16.815 --> 01:21:21.295
And so you can see it's video tutorials and then Yeah. Question mark queue. Yeah.

1231
01:21:21.295 --> 01:21:25.590
You can kinda see the pattern there. Let me send this to Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Send this out.

1232
01:21:25.590 --> 01:21:26.810
One more month. Yeah.

1233
01:21:27.350 --> 01:21:32.969
I hope I don't know if it's gonna come through on the chat here in the GoToWebinar chat, but I'm gonna drop it in for everyone.

1234
01:21:33.750 --> 01:21:35.530
Hopefully, it's, it's readable.

1235
01:21:36.985 --> 01:21:40.525
So, yeah. I mean, you can add additional styling and whatnot. But,

1236
01:21:40.985 --> 01:21:46.045
yeah. This actually I can add a No. That's fine. Margin, and that should be good after that.

1237
01:21:48.025 --> 01:21:51.245
So now you can kinda list your most popular categories here

1238
01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:55.680
in in in this manner. Yeah. That's that's absolutely I that's that's ideal, guys.

1239
01:21:55.680 --> 01:21:57.200
Thank you for that. Okay.

1240
01:21:57.200 --> 01:22:01.060
Well, it's a simple solution, but it seems like it would it would do it would do well here.

1241
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:02.960
No. I think it's it's ideal.

1242
01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:10.835
I think it's it's it's right in your face, and people are just gonna go to various categories that are popular, and and and I I think that's gonna help to reduce the bounce rate as well.

1243
01:22:11.055 --> 01:22:11.555
Okay.

1244
01:22:12.255 --> 01:22:16.755
Awesome. Well, yeah. Glad I could get that done for you, Jacques. And great question.

1245
01:22:17.910 --> 01:22:20.010
Perfect. Thanks, guys. Very welcome.
